  El objetivo de este estudio piloto fue evaluar los efectos de un programa de intervención de ejercicio físico sobre la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria en los académicos de la Universidad de Sonora que presentaron síndrome metabólico. Se llevó a cabo un estudio pre-experimental con diseño preprueba-postprueba en un solo grupo de 10 sujetos que participaron de manera voluntaria (47.10 ± 11.10 años). El programa de intervención tuvo una duración de 13 semanas con cuatro sesiones semanales que incluyeron actividades de tipo aeróbicas como fueron la caminata, natación, bicicleta estacionaria, baile y actividades al aire libre, entre otras. Las medidas antropométricas y el VO2máx fueron tomadas al inicio y al final de la intervención. Se utilizó la prueba t de muestras dependientes (p<.05) y en otros casos la prueba de Wilcoxon dado el incumplimiento de normalidad. El programa logró un aumento significativo en la variable principal VO2máx de 10.41(ml/kg/min) (p=.002), el índice de masa corporal se redujo .94 kg/m2(p=.004), la masa grasa en 2.40 kg (p=.014), los niveles de triglicéridos en 14.41 mg/dL y la circunferencia de cintura 3.98 cm (p=.016). La presión arterial sistólica y diastólica también disminuyeron al término del programa, pero estos cambios no fueron estadísticamente significativos (p >.05). Este trabajo se focalizó en los padecimientos de síndrome metabólico, encontrando mejorías principalmente en la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria. Es importante destacar que, en México este tipo de intervenciones son escasas, por lo que se sugiere seguir investigando al respecto y documentar los hallazgos. Abstract. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effects of a physical exercise intervention program on cardiorespiratory capacity in academics from the University of Sonora who manifested metabolic syndrome. A pre-experimental study with a pre and post test design was carried out in a single group of 10 individuals who participated voluntarily (47.10 ± 11.10 years). The intervention program lasted 13 weeks with four weekly sessions that included aerobic activities such as walking, swimming, stationary cycling, dancing, and outdoor activities. Anthropometric measurements and VO2max were taken at the beginning and end of the intervention. The dependent samples t-test was used (p <.05), and in other cases, the Wilcoxon test in case of the non-compliance with normality. The program achieved a significant increase in the main variable VO2max of 10.41 (ml/kg/min) (p =.002), the body mass index was reduced by 0.94 kg/m2 (p =.004), the fat mass by 2.40 kg (p =.014), triglyceride levels at 14.41 mg/dL and waist circumference 3.98 cm (p = .016). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure also decreased at the end of the program, but these changes were not statistically significant (p> .05). This work focused on metabolic syndrome disorders, finding improvements mainly in cardiorespiratory capacity. It is important to highlight that this type of intervention in Mexico is scarce, so it is suggested to continue investigating in this regard and document the findings.

The objective was to investigate the influence of two types of physical exercise intervention on elderly individuals’ physical fitness. The study included 17 older adults with a mean age of 65.8 years (± 2.88), divided into two groups: Programa de Exercícios Físicos em Unidades de Saúde (PEFUS – Physical Exercise Program in Health Units, n = 8) and Adapted Volleyball (n = 9). PEFUS classes were held three times a week and lasted 90 minutes, including strength, aerobic endurance, agility, coordination and balance exercises. Adapted Volleyball classes were performed two times per week and lasted 120 minutes, divided into skill volleyball exercises and game. For the evaluation of physical skills (strength, agility, coordination and flexibility), the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance (AAHPERD) set of tests was performed. All participants were assessed at the baseline and after three months of interventions. Statistical analysis was performed using factorial ANOVA through SPSS, version 17.0, and a significance level p <0.05. Motor coordination showed significant improvements after three months of interventions, decreasing from 11.7 ± 2.3 to 10.1 ± 1.6 seconds for Adapted Volleyball and from 15.8 ± 3.3 to 12.0 ± 3.5 seconds for PEFUS (p <0.05). Regarding strength endurance, there was a group-moment interaction (p <0.05) and the PEFUS group showed an increase in this variable after intervention. The interventions are beneficial to the physical fitness of elderly individuals, because they increase or maintain such fitness after these interventions.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8-week moderate-intensity and high-intensity accumulated exercise on insulin resistance in mice, compared with the moderate intensity continuous exercise with equal workload, which will provide an experimental reference for seeking a more reasonable and effective exercise program to break sedentary behavior and improve metabolic diseases such as IR. Methods Eighty 4-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal diet group (group C) and high-fat diet group (group H), fed with different diet. At the 10th weekend, insulin resistance model was judged by OGTT curve (AUC) and fasting blood glucose. All mice with insulin resistance were randomly divided into four groups: IR control group (IC), IR moderate-intensity continuous exercise group (IE), IR moderate-intensity accumulated exercise group (IM), IR high-intensity accumulated exercise group (IH), retained normal diet control group (C), with 12 mice for each group. All groups were fed with normal feed. The three exercise-related group performed an 8-week’s treadmill exercise program with equal workload (involve preparation and relaxation activities,0°platform slope, 5 days/week). For IE group, mice run 50min continuously with the velocity of 11m/min. For IM group,mice exercised 12.5 min per session, total 4 sessions per day, with 3-hour’s interval and the velocity of 11m/min. The IH group performed an alike exercise program with IM group, except the running speed (19m/min) and exercise time (7.5min). On the 8th weekend of exercise, FBG, OCTT, FINS, HOME- IR, and ISI were tested for each groups. Results 1. Compared with group C, body weight, FBG and OGTT-AUC were significantly increased in group H (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 76% mice were induced to insulin resistance successfully.  2. Before and after exercise intervention of 8 weeks, there were no significant changes in body weight and OGTT-AUC, while the FBG was significantly increased in IC group (P<0.05). Body weight, FBG, and OGTT-AUC significantly decreased in IE group, IM group and IH group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). 3. After 8 weeks of exercise intervention, the FBG in the IE group, IM group, and IH group were significantly lower than that in C group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the IC group, the FBG, FINS, OGTT-AUC, and HOME-IR in IM group, IH group and IE group were lower than those in the IC group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the IE group, the body weight and HOME-IR index of IH group were significantly lower than those in IE group (P<0.01). Compared with IH group, the HOME-IR in IH group was lower than that in IM group (P<0.05); There was no significant difference between IM group and IE group. Conclusions 1. Chronic moderate-intensity continuous exercise, moderate-intensity accumulated exercise, and high-intensity accumulated exercise all can effectively improve the glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in IR mice. 2.Compared with moderate-intensity accumulated exercise and moderate-intensity continuous exercise, the high-intensity accumulated exercise with equal workload is more effective in reducing the body weight and improving insulin resistance in IR mice.

Hypertension is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, hypertension is an increase in systolic blood pressure above the normal limit of more than 140 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mmHg, factors that cause increased blood pressure are physical activity, emotion, age, gender , nutritional status, drinking alcohol, smoking, stress. Data from the Grandmed Lubuk Pakam Hospital in 2018 the number of hypertension patients there were 178 cases of hypertension, the number of men was 82 people and women 96 people. One of the non-pharmacological therapies offered to reduce hypertension is massage therapy. The massage technique can remove blockages in the blood vessels so that blood and energy flow in the body returns smoothly. This research was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with the type of design to be used, namely the static group comparison method, the sampling technique used was non-probability sampling with purposive sampling technique, where the sample of this study was 20 people. The results showed that the pre-test sample in the treatment group was known to have the highest value of 160/100 mmHg and the lowest value of 130/90 and post-test mmHg with an average pre-test blood pressure value of 142.00 on systolic and 93.00 on diastolic, and 110.00 post-test. in systole and 79.00 in diastole. Based on the results above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between  reflexology neck massage with a decrease in blood pressure in patients with hypertension where the Wilcoxon Test results obtained p = 0.004 (systolic blood pressure) and p = 0.005 (diastolic blood pressure).

The coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) outbreak is an infection caused by the acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which are a pathogenic virus and highly contagious. The drug dexamethasone is only beneficial for patients infected with COVID-19 and has no effect on patients who are infected with mild symptoms nor can it prevent the entry of the COVID-19 virus. Taking dexamethasone without a doctor's prescription can trigger infection of the COVID-19 virus and have detrimental effects on the body. The purpose of this community service activity is to provide education that can increase understanding of dexamethasone which can not prevent us from getting infected by the COVID-19 and to inform the dangers of using dexamethasone that is not from a doctor's prescription. This is a quantitative research with a Pre-Experimental method using One Group Pretest-Posttest Design and the collecting data instruments used are multiple choice question types. The results of 30 participants complete data were analyzed using statistics with the Wilcoxon test with a P-value of 0,000 (P 0.05). The results showed that there was a significant effect on the use of educational methods in increasing participants' understanding of this drug. Furthermore, the N-Gain test was carried out with a result of 75.389%, so it concluded that the use of the educational method in the activity entitled "dexamethasone drug not an antidote to COVID-19" was considered quite effective in increasing the knowledge of participants who were facilitated by the pre-test and post-test.

Abstract: Physical exercise stimulates sweat from inside the body to transfer the heat out of it. Sweat consists of both water and electrolytes, including chloride ion, so if the excretion of water and electrolytes is not corrected can disturb the body’s homeostasis and health. This study aimed to determine the differencesof serum chloride levels before and after light intensity physical exercise. This study was a pre - experimental with one group pretest – posttest design. There were 30 respondents obtained by using purposive sampling method. The respondents did a brisk walk on a treadmill at 50-63 % heart rate maximum intensity for 30 minutes. Blood was taken before and after the exercise in order to examine the levels of serum chloride. The results of this study were processed by using Wilcoxon test. Averagely, the level of serum chloride before exercise was 106,23 ± 2,208 mmol/L, and 106,90 ± 1,9 mmol/L after exercise. Statistical test result showed p = 0,007. It is concluded that there is a significant difference on the levels of serum chloride before and after light intensity exercise in the students of Medical Faculty Sam Ratulangi University. Keywords: Serum Chloride, Exercise , Light Intensity.     Abstrak: Latihan fisik memicu pengeluaran keringat untuk memindahkan panas dari dalam tubuh ke lingkungan.

El objetivo de este estudio fue el determinar los efectos de un programa de ejercicios de control postural sobre el equilibrio estático y la precisión de lanzamiento del tiro con arco en atletas de la serie infantil (12-14 años) y cadetes (15-17 años). Participaron 12 deportistas para cada serie. Se realizó la prueba de medición de equilibrio a través del Standing Stork Test (ojos abiertos/cerrados) y de la prueba asertividad en la precisión de lanzamiento (6 rondas) en el blanco previo y posterior a la intervención de ejercicios. Ésta última consistió en un programa de entrenamiento de equilibrio bi/unipodal durante 8 semanas. Los resultados mostraron un aumento significativo del equilibrio unipodal con ojos abiertos del grupo infantil en ambas piernas; pero sin cambios en la modalidad de ojos cerrados. La serie cadetes arrojó una diferencia significativa en la prueba de equilibrio unipodal con ojos abiertos sólo en la pierna dominante (derecha); sin cambios en la pierna izquierda, como tampoco diferencias en la modalidad ojos cerrados. La prueba de asertividad del tiro con arco sólo mejoró en el grupo infantil, pero no en la serie cadetes post intervención. Es posible que el entrenamiento de equilibrio postural estático haya optimizado patrones de control postural y visomotores en edades tempranas (bajo los 15 años) en comparación al grupo de cadetes, para así mejorar la precisión del tiro. Se recomienda el potenciar estos ejercicios en edades tempranas para fomentar las destrezas propias del deporte de tiro con arco.Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of a postural control exercise program on static balance and accuracy of archery throwing in infant (12-14 years old) and cadet (15-17 years old) categories. A total of 12 athletes per each category took part in the study. As measurement tests, we used the Standing Stork Test (open / closed eyes) for balance and the assertiveness in target launch precision test (6 rounds) before and after the exercise intervention. This consisted of a bi / unipedal balance training program lasting 8 weeks. The results showed a significant increase in unipedal equilibrium with open eyes in the infant group and for both legs; however, no changes were detected in the closed-eye modality. The cadet category showed significant differences in the unipedal equilibrium test with open eyes only for the dominant leg (right); no changes were found for the left leg, nor in the closed-eye modality. The assertiveness test of the archery only improved in the infant group, whereas in cadets it did not change at post-test. It is possible that static postural balance training optimized patterns of postural and visuomotor control at early ages (under 15 years old) compared to the group of cadets, and therefore the throwing accuracy was enhanced. It is recommended to endorse these exercises at early ages so to empower the skills needed in the sport of archery.

Hipertensi sering disebut “Silent Killer” (Pembunuh Siluman), karena pada penderita seringkali merasakan suatu gangguan/gejala tanpa diketahui penyebabnya. Semakin tua seseorang pengaturan metabolisme zat kapur (kalsium) didalam tubuh terganggu, sehingga banyak zat kapur yang mengalir bersama darahmenyebabkan elastisitas arteri berkurang. Arteri tidak dapat lentur dan cenderung kaku, sehingga volume darah yang mengalir sedikit dan kurang lancar. Salah satu terapi non farmakologi untuk lansia penderita hipertensi adalah pisang ambon. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menegtahui pengaruh pemberian pisang ambon terhadap tekanan darah pada lansia penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan one group pre test-post test design. Teknik sampling yang digunakan yaitu non probability, dengan populasi penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto dan besar sampel 31 orang sesuai kriteria.pengumpulan data menggunakan skala ordinal dan instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar observasi. Pemberian pisang ambon di berikan selama 7 hari pada pagi sebelum sarapan dan sebelum makan malam. Hasil uji Wilcoxon diketahui bahwa nilai ρ (0.000) < α (0,05) serta didapatkan hasil bahwa pisang ambon berpengaruh terhadap tekanan darah lansia penderita hipertensi di Dusun Mojogeneng Desa Mojokarang Kecamatan Dlanggu Kabupaten Mojokerto. Pisang ambon merupakan salah satu terapi yang efektif dan bermanfaat. Karena pisang ambon dapat membuat tubuh menjadi rileks dan pembuluh darah menjadi vasodilatasi sehingga aliran darah dan suplai oksigen menjadi lancar. Hypertension is a disease that often attacks the elderly due to the regula- tion  of  lime  metabolism  (calcium)  in  the  body  is  disturbed,  resulting  in arteriosclerosis.  Hypertension  sufferers  need  to  get  hypertension  drug therapy  to  prevent  arteriosclerosis.  But  the  fact  is  that  people  who  are bored take medication for hypertension due to the high dependency and price of drugs, so change determiner more economical and have minimal side effects, one of which is using Ambon banana. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of giving Ambon banana to blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension. The design of this study used Pre-Experi- ment with a one group pre test -post test design approach. The population in  this  study  were  all  patients  with  hypertension  in  Mojogeneng- Mojokarang Hamlet, Dlanggu-Mojokerto, 31 of whom were a large sample of 31 elderly. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Indepen- dent variable giving Ambon banana and blood pressure dependent vari- able. The instrument used was the pre-post observation sheet given Ambon banana. From the results of the study showed that 31 respondents before given Ambon bananas did not have normal blood pressure but after giving Ambon  banana  there  were  11  respondents  who  had  normal  blood  pres- sure, whereas in patients with moderate hypertension before giving Am- bon banana there were 23 respondents and after administration of banana ambon there are 4 patients with moderate hypertension. The Wilcoxon test results show that the value of   (0.000) <(0.05) then H0 is rejected, meaning that there is an effect of consumption of Ambon banana on elderly blood pressure. The conclusion of this study is Banana Ambon can reduce blood pressure in elderly people with hypertension, so it is expected that health workers can socialize the use of Ambon banana in elderly people with  hypertension.
