Abstract: The number of positive incidents, mortality and mortality due to Covid-19 is getting higher. In 2020, around 76.7% of elderly people died because of Covid-19 from the total number of patients who died due to Covid-19. This increasing number is not in line with the activity of cycling trends that were rife during the Covid-19 pandemic. So that there is a mismatch with the principles of health sports, namely sports to improve the health status of sports players. Therefore, this study is important to do to determine the relationship between cycling trends during the pandemic and increased immunity, especially for the elderly. The research method used is a literature review of various research articles that have been published in various journals indexed by Google Scholar, Research Gate, Scopus, and PubMed. The articles reviewed were articles related to cycling and the immunity of the elderly during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of the articles that have been done, there is a relationship between cycling and the immunity of the elderly. However, the SARS CoV-2 virus can infect healthy people without symptoms which then spreads to the elderly and causes high cases of mortality in the elderly. So that it requires active participation by all parties to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and improve the immune system in the midst of a pandemic with cycling.   Abstrak: Angka kejadian positif, mordibitas, dan mortalitas akibat Covid-19 semakin tinggi. Pada tahun 2020 terdapat sekitar 76,7% lansia yang meninggal karena Covid-19 dari total keseluruhan pasien meninggal akibat Covid-19. Angka yang semakin naik tersebut tidak sejalan dengan aktifitas tren bersepeda yang marak diminati saat pandemi Covid-19. Sehingga terdapat ketidaksesuaian dengan prinsip olahraga kesehatan yaitu olahraga untuk meningkatkan derajat kesehatan bagi pelaku olahraga. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini penting dilakukan untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan antara tren bersepeda dimasa pandemi terhadap peningkatan imunitas tubuh khususnya bagi lansia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu review literatur dari berbagai artikel penelitian yang telah terpublikasi dalam berbagai jurnal yang terindeks Google Cendekia, Research Gate, Scopus, dan PubMed. Artikel yang direview yaitu artikel yang berhubungan dengan olahraga bersepeda dan imunitas tubuh lansia dimasa pandemi Covid-19. Berdasarkan analisis artikel yang telah dilakukan, terdapat hubungan antara olahraga bersepeda dengan imunitas tubuh lansia. Namun, virus SARS CoV-2 dapat menjangkit pada orang sehat tanpa gejala yang kemudian menyebar ke lansia dan menyebabkan tingginya kasus mortalitas pada lansia. Sehingga diperlukan partisipasi aktif oleh semua pihak untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 dan meningkatkan sistem imunitas tubuh di tengah pandemi dengan olahraga bersepeda.

The coronavirus (COVID-19), which emerged in the province of Wuhan in China in December 2019, is a pandemic that threatens all humanity. In this pandemic, so far elderly people appear to be the most vulnerable group. Adequate and balanced nutrition is required for the immune system of the body to fight against any diseases. Covid-19 has a direct correlation with nutrition habits, especially in elderly people. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the risk of COVID-19 and nutrition in elderly individuals.

Chronic pain and fatigue have negative effects on the health, ADL, work, and hobbies of the elderly. As the proportion of people 65 years of age and older in the population increases, chronic pain and disability research regarding this group is receiving more consideration. However, little empirical evidence of the association between chronic pain, fatigue, and physical disability between the sexes is available. This study investigated the association between chronic pain, fatigue, and instrumental activities of daily living among community-dwelling elderly people by sex in Japan. Concerning the presence of chronic pain, 61% of males and 78% of females reported chronic pain, indicating that many elderly people living in the community suffer from chronic pain and fatigue on a daily basis. The number of sites of chronic pain was higher in females than in males (p = 0.016), with more chronic pain in the knees (p < 0.001) and upper arms (p = 0.014). Regarding chronic pain, males showed a higher correlation with QuickDASH-DS (rs = 0.433, p = 0.017) and QuickDASH-SM (rs = 0.643, p = 0.018) than females. Furthermore, fatigue also showed a higher correlation with QuickDASH-W (rs = 0.531, p = 0.003) in males than in females. These results indicate that the association between chronic pain, fatigue, and QuickDASH differed between the sexes among community-dwelling elderly people in Japan. A better understanding of the risk factors for elderly chronic pain and fatigue among sexes will facilitate the development of elderly healthcare welfare and policies.

Mourning and reminiscence are therapeutic processes common in therapeutic work with the elderly. However, a theoretical explanation of why they are effective has been lacking. Personal construct theory accounts for both in terms of the search of elderly persons for validation of their construct systems. In this article, this explanation of the parallel psychotherapeutic processes is explored, together with relevant information from the literature on mourning and reminiscence. Therapeutic case studies illustrate the characteristics of the two processes and the relationship between them.

COVID-19 is a highly contagious virus that first appeared in China in December 2019. It has affected over 157 million people and killed over 3.2 million. The paper reviews the function of the immune system for COVID-19 prevention, depression, and anxiety due to COVID-19 and their effects on the immune system and the relationship of aging with the immune system and depression and anxiety. It has been found that several elderly people lack the coping mechanisms required to deal with the stress caused by COVID-19. Hence, identifying the factors and mechanisms that lead to this resilience will aid in the development of preventive measures for certain elderly people and groups with more severe mental health problems. Additionally, it would be beneficial to understand how technology could be leveraged to accomplish this goal. During the pandemic, various steps such as social isolation, quarantine, and self-isolation are needed to be implemented properly to slow the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, to help halt the pandemic, everybody must be vaccinated as soon as possible until any bans on social gatherings and social isolation can be removed, allowing other sectors such as schooling, social activities, and life to resume normalcy.
