Abstract

Introduction: As agents of change, university students require two supporting factors, namely physical fitness and academic performance. Students with low VO₂MAX values experience decreased learning outcomes and low levels of fitness, with one influencing factor being smoking habits. Smoking habits affect cardiovascular endurance due to the nicotine content in cigarettes, which can damage the lungs. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between smoking intensity and VO₂MAX among students. Methods: This correlation study employed an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design. Purposive sampling was used to select 40 participants. The Cooper Test was used as the measurement tool. Data were analysed using the Spearman rank correlation. Results: The analysis of the relationship between smoking intensity and VO₂MAX using the Spearman rank test yielded a p-value of 0.01 (p < 0.05). This result shows a significant relationship between smoking intensity and VO₂MAX values. The correlation coefficient was -0.741, which indicates a strong statistical relationship between the variables. Conclusion: There is a relationship between smoking intensity and Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO₂MAX) values among students.

Abstract

Introduction: Dynamic balance is a crucial ability in children's motor development, especially at the elementary school age. Traditional games such as engklek (hopscotch), egrang batok kelapa (coconut shell stilts) are believed to provide effective stimuli for enhancing children's balance function. To determine the difference in effects between the traditional games engklek and egrang batok kelapa on improving dynamic balance in children aged 9–10 years. Methods: This study is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest two-group design. The population consisted of 70 students, and the sample included 41 students from SDN Kuwonharjo, Magetan, aged 9–10 years, divided into two groups: a control group with standard training dosage and an intervention group with modified training dosage. Measurements were conducted using the Balance Beam Test (BBT) before and after the intervention. Results: There was a significant improvement in dynamic balance in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the difference test showed no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.416), indicating relatively similar effectiveness between engklek and egrang batok kelapa. Conclusion: Both traditional games, engklek and egrang batok kelapa, are equally effective in improving dynamic balance in children aged 9–10 years. These games can serve as enjoyable, practical physiotherapy alternatives in school settings.

Abstract

Introduction: CTS is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by compression of the median nerve, commonly occurring in informal sector workers, particularly those engaged in repetitive wrist movements, which can lead to reduced hand function and work productivity. This study aims to determine the relationship between occupational risk factors and pain with the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score in informal sector workers with CTS after kinesiotaping. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design. Respondents were informal sector workers with CTS symptoms who met the inclusion criteria. The BCTQ score was used as a measure of hand function and CTS symptoms. Statistical analysis used Spearman's correlation test and linear regression. Results: Spearman's correlation analysis showed that age had a weak and insignificant negative correlation with BCTQ scores (sig. 0.170; R = -0.234). Repetitive movements showed a moderate and significant negative correlation (sig. 0.020; R = -0.385). Meanwhile, night pain and daytime pain showed a very strong and significant correlation with BCTQ scores (sig. 0.000; R = 0.928). The results of the linear regression test supported these findings, in which age (sig. 0.705) and repetitive movements (sig. 0.894) had no significant effect on BCTQ scores, while night pain and daytime pain showed a significant effect on increasing BCTQ scores. Conclusion: Kinesiotaping is effective in reducing BCTQ scores in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), particularly through the reduction of pain, both night pain and activity pain.

Abstract

Background: The job of a bus driver requires sitting for long periods in a static position within a confined workspace. This condition poses a risk of musculoskeletal disorders, especially low back pain (LBP), which is caused by high biomechanical stress on the spine. LBP is one of the most common complaints among informal sector workers such as drivers, who often neglect occupational safety and health factors. This can occur due to prolonged sitting without breaks and non-ergonomic sitting positions, which may lead to muscle fatigue and lower back pain. Research Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between sitting duration and the incidence of low back pain among bus drivers. Methods: This research was an observational study with a correlational approach. A sample of 91 respondents was selected using random sampling from a total population of 118 bus drivers at the Giri Adipura Terminal, Wonogiri. Data were collected using questionnaires and lower back pain examinations with the Lasegue Test and palpation. The data were analyzed using the Spearman test with SPSS version 25. Results: The majority of respondents (85.7%) had a sitting duration of 5–8 hours per day. The Spearman test results showed that there was no significant relationship between sitting duration and the incidence of low back pain (p-value = 0.052; p > 0.05). This is because the drivers demonstrated high awareness of occupational health by regularly performing stretching exercises and maintaining proper posture while driving. In addition, the company paid attention to driver comfort and occupational health by providing ergonomic seats and adequate rest schedules. These facilities help reduce biomechanical stress on the spine and support a healthier working condition for drivers. Conclusion: This study shows that there is no significant relationship between sitting duration and the incidence of low back pain among bus drivers. Keywords: low back pain, sitting duration, bus drivers

Abstract

Introduction: Fatigue is a protective mechanism that the body activates to prevent further damage, and recovery can occur after adequate rest. Occupational fatigue is often characterised by decreased energy in performing daily tasks or activities, which can lead to increased errors and, in more serious cases, accidents. The effects of fatigue can reduce work capacity and endurance, as seen in the sensation of tiredness, slowed reactions, difficulty in decision-making, and decreased motivation. When fatigue levels are high, this can hinder worker productivity. This study aims to determine the picture of physical fatigue in brick makers in Pangkah village. Methods: This study uses a quantitative descriptive research design to provide an overview of the physical job fatigue experienced by brick-making workers in Pangkah village. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling technique, the number of samples is 59 people who are brick making workers in Pangkah village. Physical work fatigue in brick-making workers is measured using the Subjective Self Rating Test (SSRT) questionnaire. Results: Based on the research that has been done, the results of measurements using the Subjective Self Rating Test (SSRT) questionnaire show that workers experience work fatigue in the low category, namely 64.4%, moderate fatigue as much as 33.9%, and high fatigue of 1.7%. Conclusion: All brick makers in Pangkah village experience work fatigue caused by several factors, both internal and external, which interfere with their work activities.

Abstract

Introduction: Hallux valgus is a deformity of the first toe characterized by outward bending due to a valgus position at the metatarsophalangeal joint. This deformity can cause pain and interfere with daily activities, especially among working women. To determine the difference in the effects of Strengthening on bosu and Activity-Based Exercises on reducing pain caused by hallux valgus in working women in Bulakrejo Village. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental two-group with a pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 50 subjects divided into two intervention groups with randomization. Pain was measured using the Visual Analog and Numeric Rating Scale (VANRS). Both interventions were conducted for four weeks, three times per week. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to examine the effect of each intervention and the Mann-Whitney test to compare differences between groups. Results: Strengthening on bosu significantly reduced pain (p=0.001; CI=95%) and activity-based exercise also significantly reduced pain (p=0.001; CI=95%) in working woman with hallux valgus. However, there was a significant difference between the groups (p=0.014), with a greater effect on strengthening on bosu. Conclusion: Both methods are effective in reducing pain, but there is a difference in impact between the two, strengthening on bosu has more effect than activity-based exercise.

Abstract

Introduction: This literature review study was motivated by global health challenges such as diabetes mellitus (DM), which has become a significant global health issue, particularly in Indonesia, which ranks seventh in the world. Complications from DM, such as diabetic neuropathy, drastically affect patients' quality of life. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as neuromuscular taping therapy (NMT) and physical exercise, can reduce the risk of complications and thus be an effective additional solution in DM management. Methods: The literature review method was applied to five articles obtained from several databases, namely ResearchGate and Google Scholar. The search keywords for articles included NMT, Exercise, and Diabetes Mellitus. The researchers used "AND" as the Boolean Operator. Results: The findings of the literature review indicate that the application of NMT significantly improves microcirculation, balance, and proprioception, as well as reducing neuropathic pain in patients. In addition, the combination of NMT with non-pharmacological interventions such as Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and foot exercises can also reduce swelling and diabetic neuropathic pain. NMT with exercise shows greater improvement in Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) values and patient quality of life. Conclusion: NMT combined with exercise has been proven effective. NMT provides an effective and safe alternative for improving the quality of life of diabetic patients.
