Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a transitional phase from childhood to adulthood, characterized by significant physical and psychological changes. In women, this phase is characterized by menstruation that occurs regularly. Menstruation is often accompanied by lower abdominal pain known as dysmenorrhea. One of the factors that contribute to the occurrence of dysmenorrhea is the hemoglobin (Hb) level in the blood. Lack of oxygen can affect the pain threshold mechanism, thus increasing the intensity of pain felt during menstruation. This study aimed to identify the relationship between hemoglobin levels and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in female students at Public Senior High School 1 Semarapura, Klungkung, Bali. Methods: The research method used a cross-sectional study conducted in the Klungkung area in May 2024. The sample of this study was taken by purposive sampling as many as 103 people, consisting of second-year of senior high school female students aged 16-18 years. The study samples were female adolescents who met certain inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 16-18 years old, already having menstruation, active as a student at Public Senior High School 1 Semarapura, willing to be a research subject and signed informed consent, having moderate to heavy physical activity levels, normal, mild, or moderate stress levels, menarche age ≥ 11 years, menstrual duration not more than 7 days. Exclusion criteria included students with BMI in the underweight or obese category and who were menstruating at the time of the study. Hemoglobin levels were measured using a digital Hb meter, while the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea was measured using the WaLIDD Score. Results: Data analysis using Spearman's rho hypothesis test showed a very strong correlation between hemoglobin levels and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea with a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.752 and a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This unidirectional relationship indicates that the lower the hemoglobin level, the higher the intensity of dysmenorrhea pain felt. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a significant relationship between hemoglobin levels and the incidence of primary dysmenorrhea in female students of a public high school in Bali.

Abstract

Background: Recurrent ankle sprains are typically caused by an athlete performing two or more duties at the same time. At least one task performance and dynamic balance are carried out in most athletic performances. This study aimed to determine an intervention that involves dual tasks for futsal players with functional ankle instability (FAI) and to investigate the effect of the exercise on dynamic balance and different characteristics of players. Methods: The research was quasi-experimental, with a non-equivalent control group design. Thirty futsal players with FAI were recruited, as identified by the Identification of Functional Ankle Instability questionnaire. The participants were separated into experimental (n=16) and control (n=14) groups. The experimental group did plyometric exercises and cognitive activities (serial three or serial seven) for 15 minutes each, three times a week for six weeks. In contrast, the control group performed only plyometric exercises. The Y-Balance Test was used to measure dynamic balance. Participants were tested again six weeks later. Results: The experimental group showed more significant improvement than the controls. Compared before and after intervention in each group, the dynamic balance was substantially increased (p<0.05). Following the intervention, no statistically significant difference was seen between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: In this article, we outlined the potential use of dual-task exercise (DTE) in the athlete population to support athletic performance and provide more insights to implement in injury prevention. We need further research to clarify the optimum time to make significant improvements with DTE.

Abstract

Background: In the modern era, the rapid development of technology has affected many aspects of life, including the increasing popularity of online gaming among teenagers and adults. As a form of professional video game competition, e-sports has been recognized globally and nationally. However, prolonged gaming activities in a static sitting position often lead to health problems, one of which is low back pain (LBP). This study aimed to assess the association between sitting position and sitting duration with the incidence of LBP in e-sports players. Methods: This study used an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample totaled 68 e-sports players in East Denpasar who were selected through a purposive sampling method. The inclusion criteria were 20-30 years old and had an average body mass index (BMI), while the exclusion criteria had injuries to the wrist or spine. Data were collected using the rapid whole body assessment (REBA) worksheet questionnaire to assess the sitting position and the modified oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire (M-ODI) to determine the incidence of LBP. Data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The results showed that most of the sample had a moderate risk of sitting position (95.7%) and sitting more than 4 hours per day (67.6%). Correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between sitting position and LBP incidence (r = 0.371; p < 0.05) and between sitting duration and LBP incidence (r = 0.585; p < 0.05). The positive correlation value indicates that the worse the sitting position and the longer the sitting duration, the higher the risk of LBP. Conclusion: This study concludes that sitting position and duration are significantly associated with the incidence of LBP in e-sports players. This study is expected to educate e-sports players on the importance of ergonomic sitting positions and limiting sitting duration to reduce the risk of LBP.

Abstract

Background: Existing interventions to improve verbal expression for children with Down Syndrome (DS) often neglect sensory and motor development. However, these abilities are essential for receiving input from the environment and responding through gestures during intervention. This study aimed to develop interventions through sensory and motor development that enhance the expressive verbal capabilities of DS children in articulating sounds, syllables, and words. Methods: This study used quantitative methods with an experimental design. Clinician-rated questionnaires measured the pre-test and post-test verbal expressive abilities of DS children who received the Cosy Development (CD) intervention for 12 months. Participants consisted of 8 DS children, ages ranged 4-15 years. This study was conducted at Tridiva Learning House, Bandung, Indonesia. Families of the DS children were trained by researchers regarding the intervention guidelines, and they performed the CD intervention on their children at home. Results: The Wilcoxon rank test showed a statistically significant improvement in verbal expressiveness among the eight DS children who received the CD intervention for 12 months, with p-values ranging from 0.016 to 0.008. Conclusion: The CD intervention, which integrated sensory and motor developments, effectively improved the verbal expressiveness of DS children. The CD intervention was practical and comfortable for DS children, making it a promising approach for improving their communication abilities.
