Retrieval of cardiorespiratory fitness status data was measured by means of 20-meter shuttle run in a bleep test. The study showed that the majority of subjects were male. Most of subjects had less energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, calcium, vitamin C, zinc, and iron. The statistical test showed that there were relationship between sex and nutritional status of IMT/U with the status of cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max). There was no correlation between energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamin C, zinc, calcium, and iron intake with the status of cardiorespiratory fitness.

Substitution of sesame seeds and sesame seed flour for making calcium source high phosphorus milky pie for pregnant women

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is one indicator of community welfare in a country. One of the direct causes of maternal death is hypertension by 27.1%, with risk factors, including the imbalance of calcium. Calcium and phosphorus have a synergistic relationship.
