Abstract

Strenuous physical exercise can trigger muscle damage causing an increase in creatine kinase levels. One of the strategies to prevent muscle damage is to consume antioxidants and anti-inflammatory. Jamu Kunyit Asam is known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acutely giving Jamu Kunyit Asam on creatine kinase levels after strenuous physical exercise. The research sample used 20 trained males. The sample was divided into two groups (Experiment = 10; Placebo = 10). The pre-test was done by checking creatine kinase levels before engaging in strenuous physical exercise. After doing strenuous physical exercise by running on a treadmill with an intensity of 90-100% for 30 minutes, the experimental group was given 250 ml of Jamu Kunyit Asam every day for 3 days, while the control group was given a placebo drink. Creatine kinase levels were measured immediately, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours after strenuous physical exercise. The results showed that CK levels decreased significantly 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after strenuous physical exercise in the Jamu Kunyit Asam group compared to the placebo group (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study is that giving Jamu Kunyit Asam acutely after doing strenuous physical exercise can reduce creatine kinase levels in trained male athletes. Acute Jamu Kunyit Asam supplementation in this study can help reduce muscle damage due to strenuous physical exercise through nutritional interventions.

Abstract

In recent years there has been an increase in the prevalence of viral infections worldwide with the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease. Various attempts have been made to find new drugs and vaccines against the viruses that cause it, but there are no effective preventive and curative drugs yet, so boosting the immune system is one of the most important things to do. One of the natural ingredients that are believed to increase the body's immunity is Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), but it still needs more intense research. In addition to the use of natural ingredients, exercise is also important to maintain and increase immunity. One indicator that is sensitive to impaired immune response is leukocytes. This study aims to see the effect of giving VCO and physical exercise on immune function by measuring leukocyte levels. This is an experimental study with a randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The sample in this study were 12 people who were divided into two groups. During the exercise with an intensity of 70-80% in two weeks with a frequency of three times a week, the experimental group was given 15 ml of VCO every day while the control group was given a placebo. Leukocyte levels were measured before and after treatment. Leukocyte levels in the control group increased significantly while the experimental group decreased insignificantly. Giving virgin coconut oil in this study significantly reduced leukocyte levels.
