Abstract

Introduction: Physical fitness, especially cardiorespiratory fitness, is an important factor in supporting students' health and academic performance. However, an increase in sedentary lifestyles has led to a decrease in physical fitness levels in university students. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Core Stability Exercise (CSE) program in improving the cardiorespiratory fitness of university students, using a combination of bicycle crunch and mountain climber as the main exercises. This exercise is one of the physiotherapy exercise methods that focuses on strengthening core muscles, which not only improves body stability but also contributes to improving cardiorespiratory capacity through diaphragm activation and postural control. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CSE in improving the physical fitness of university students using a one-group pre-post-test quasi-experimental design. Methods: A total of 27 students underwent the bicycle crunch and mountain climber exercise program for eight weeks with a frequency of three times a week. Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using the Harvard Step Test, and the results of statistical analysis with the Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) after the intervention. Results: The results of this study indicate that Core Stability Exercise is an effective exercise method in improving the cardiorespiratory fitness of college students. Conclusion: Therefore, this exercise is recommended as part of a preventive physiotherapy program to improve the health and fitness of students in the academic environment.

Abstract

Introduction: Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease that causes lung tissue to stiffen and progressively decreases respiratory function. Patients often experience shortness of breath, fatigue, and decreased capacity for daily activities, which impacts their quality of life. While there is no cure for IPF, physiotherapy plays an important role in helping to manage symptoms and maintain lung function. Various interventions such as physical exercise, breathing techniques and pulmonary rehabilitation have been shown to improve patients' condition. Therefore, this study is needed to understand the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions in supporting more optimal management of IPF. To assess the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions such as physical exercise and breathing techniques in improving lung function and quality of life of IPF patients. Methods: Literature review was conducted by searching articles through Google Scholar, PEDro, PubMed, and Scopus databases using keywords related to IPF and physiotherapy interventions. Selection was done using inclusion-exclusion criteria with the help of PRISMA diagram. Results: Interventions such as aerobic exercise, strength training, breathing techniques (including pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing), and pulmonary rehabilitation were shown to be effective in increasing functional capacity, reducing dyspnea, and improving the quality of life of IPF patients. Conclusion: Physiotherapy interventions effectively improve functional capacity, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.

Abstract

Introduction: In the development cycle of early childhood, several internal and external factors can influence changes such as disruption, delay or improvement. One of the external factors highlighted in this study is the application of screen time. Screen time in early childhood is highly recommended not to exceed 1 hour/day. This study aims to analyse the impact of screen time on behavioural disorders in the communication and personal social aspects of children aged 0-3 years at the Menur 6 Kartasura Children's Posyandu, using computer vision technology to monitor children's behaviour. Methods: The study used a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Statistical tests used the T-test. The number of samples is the total of the population aged 1-3 years as many as 24 respondents. The instruments used were interviews and observations with the ASQ-3 guidelines that had been developed in the form of computer real vision technology. Results: The results of the study showed that in the communication aspect there were 6 children in the category of needing stimulus and 18 children in the normal category, while in the personal social aspect there were 7 children in the category of needing stimulus and 17 others in the normal category. The analysis test of excessive screen time application is related to behavioural disorders, such as addiction, delayed language development, and social-emotional disorders. Conclusion: However, for behavioural aspects such as communication and personal social, there is no relationship between them. This finding emphasises the importance of parents' role in managing children's screen time to support optimal development.

Abstract

Introduction: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is an exercise method that focuses on improving neuromuscular control through proprioceptor stimulation. PNF is more commonly used in neurological therapy, but further research is needed regarding its ability to address musculoskeletal issues, such as balance and fall risk in the elderly. This study aims to review the PNF approach and analyse its effectiveness in improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in the elderly based on existing literature reviews. Methods: This study uses a simple literature review method. Data were collected through searches in research article databases such as Google Scholar, Crossref, ProQuest, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Semantic Scholar. Inclusion criteria for this article included studies published between 2015 and 2025, experimental research designs, and the application of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) in the elderly. Results: A review of six previous studies showed that PNF exercises had a positive effect on improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in the elderly. Conclusion: Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) has been proven effective in improving balance and functional range associated with a reduced risk of falls in the elderly. With these benefits, PNF can be an important component of fall prevention programmes and improving the quality of life for the elderly.
