Abstract

Strenuous exercise can trigger an increase in pulse rate and lactic acid levels. Stress during exercise can secrete adrenaline so that your heart rate increases, and free radicals including lactic acid. This study aims to determine the effect of light and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on lactic acid levels and pulse rate during exercise. The research carried out was a quasi-experimental research with a non-random repeat experiment design. Pulse rate and lactic acid levels were assessed before and after the exercise program in 3 groups, namely the light-intensity aerobic exercise (LAIR) treatment group, the moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (LAIS) group, and the control group. The research location is the Harapan Bangsa football stadium in Banda Aceh. The subject is Aceh Diaspora PPLP athlete. The training program was carried out for four weeks. The mean pulse rate and lactic acid levels of the three groups showed differences. A significant decrease in heart rate values ​​after the training test was seen in the group with LAIS (p = 0.000). A significant decrease in lactic acid after the training test was seen in the group with LAIS (p= 0.04). The mean pulse rate of the three groups showed differences. An exercise program carried out with the right intensity, duration, and frequency can reduce increases in heart rate and lactic acid levels. This research shows that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can reduce pulse rate and lactic acid levels so that it can slow down fatigue during exercise in Acehnese football athletes.

Abstract

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease resulting from the destruction of joint cartilage to the formation of subchondral bone and osteophytes that cause pain in the joints. According to WHO, the prevalence of OA in Southeast Asia in 2004 reached 27.4 million people. One of the metabolic disorders that is thought to be a risk factor for OA progressivity is Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Indonesia has the fourth largest number of DM patients with a prevalence of 8.6% of the total population. Current evaluation of OA is based on clinical and radiographic examinations such as X-ray, MRI, CT etc. The Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) system is a validated method to classify the severity of OA into 5 levels. Objective: To determine the relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA based on X-ray photographs at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design. The data obtained will then be processed and analyzed with the Chi-Square test, Fisher Exact test, or Kruskal-Wallis test using a data processing program. Results: It was found that DM patients with right genu OA location amounted to 29 people (39.7%), left amounted to 13 people (17.8%), and both amounted to 31 people (42.5%). DM patients with grade 1 severity amounted to 6 people (8.2%), grade 2 amounted to 18 people (24.7%), grade 3 amounted to 25 people (34.2%), and grade 4 amounted to 24 people (32.9%). The results of the Chi-Square test found that there was a significant relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA (p<0.001). Based on Kruskal-Wallis test, there was no significant relationship between DM comorbidity and genu OA severity (p=0.636) and there was no significant relationship between OA severity and HbA1c (p=0.408). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between DM and the severity of genu OA based on X-ray photos at Haji Adam Malik Hospital Medan.

Abstract

Desert plants are renowned for their ability to thrive in extreme environments characterized by limited water availability, high temperatures, and intense solar radiation. This paper explores the diverse adaptations that enable these plants to survive in such challenging conditions. Physiological adaptations, including water-use efficiency through CAM and C4 photosynthesis, along with morphological features such as reduced leaves and specialized root systems, play crucial roles in water conservation and heat tolerance. Behavioral adaptations, such as rapid germination and seed production following rainfall, further enhance their resilience. Understanding these adaptations not only illuminates the remarkable strategies of desert flora but also holds implications for ecological conservation and sustainable agriculture in arid regions.
