Abstract

Background: Cleaning is an occupation that is carried out worldwide in many different environments. Cleaning workers (cleaners) often have low occupational skills and belong to the less advantaged educational and socioeconomic groups. Because of the high physical work demands and low cardiorespiratory fitness, cleaners have the risk to have cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to measure the 5 components of physical fitness (cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle endurance, muscle strength, flexibility and body composition) of cleaners in Faculty of Medicine Universitas Padjadjaran.Methods: A descriptive study was carried out to all cleaners (31 persons) of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Padjadjaran in November 2012. The subjects were tested for cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle endurance, muscle strength, flexibility and body composition. The results were categorized using the standard of Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia.Results: From 31 subjects, cardiorespiratory endurance was in poor category (50%). Shoulder and hand muscle endurance was in poor category (54.8%) and stomach muscle endurance was in very poor category (67.7%). Hand−grip muscular strength was in very poor category: right hand (80.7%) and left hand (87.1%). Back muscle strength was in poor category (58.1%). Leg muscular strength was in very poor category (48.4%). Flexibility was in a very good category (97%) and body composition was also in a good category (54.8%).Conclusions: From 5 components of cleaners’ physical fitness, 3 components (cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle endurance and muscular strength) are in poor and very poor category. DOI: 10.15850/amj.v2n3.504

Abstract

Background: The work of administrative officers depends a lot on their capability in memorizing. Increased fitness is strongly associated with a better memory. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between cardiopulmonary fitness and short term memory.Methods: This analytical cross sectional study was carried out from August to September 2014. Subjects from administrative offices within Universitas Padjadjaran were chosen by simple random sampling. 101 individuals were selected, comprising of 68 males and 33 females. Data were obtained through Digit Span Test for short term memory and the cardiopulmonary fitness was measured using Harvard Step Test. The VO2 Max obtained was correlated with the Digit Span Test score.Results: The mean for cardiopulmonary fitness of males was found to be 36.1, with standard deviation 8.63, whereas mean cardiopulmonary fitness for females was found to be 32.94, with standard deviation 7.5. For correlation analysis, the result of Spearman’s rank analysis from the study showed that the p-value is 0.00. Comparing to the significance level α=5%, the p value is worth less, thus the null hypothesis, Ho is rejected. Therefore, it could be concluded that there was a relationship between cardiopulmonary fitness and short term memory of male and female administrative officers at Universitas Padjadjaran.Conclusions: There is a relationship between cardiopulmonary fitness and short term memory of male and female administrative officers at Universitas Padjadjaran.

Abstract

Aktivitas fisik berat meningkatkan senyawa oksigen reaktif dalam tubuh yang diketahui dengan mengukur kadar malondialdehid (MDA) dari hasil proses lipid peroksidase yaitu kerusakan oksidatif pada biomolekul lipid akibat reaktivitas senyawa oksigen reaktif (SOR), namun pola perubahan kadar MDA plasma seseorang setelah beraktivitas fisik berat masih belum dipahami. Antioksidan potensial seperti astaxanthin dan latihan teratur diduga dapat memengaruhi pola perubahan kadar MDA tersebut. Untuk itu dilakukan penelitian eksperimental dengan subjek 15 orang pria terlatih dan 15 orang pria tidak terlatih anggota sebuah pusat kebugaran di Bandung, usia 18–25 tahun yang terbagi menjadi kelompok yang mendapatkan suplemen astaxhantin atau plasebo selama satu minggu secara buta ganda. Setelah pemberian suplemen atau plasebo, setiap kelompok melakukan tes aktivitas anaerobik berat. Dilakukan pengukuran MDA rerata (mmol/mL) sebelum dilakukan tes, langsung setelah tes, 6 jam setelah tes, dan 24 jam setelah tes. Data yang dianalisis menggunakan uji ANOVA diikuti uji Duncan menunjukkan bahwa sebelum tes keempat kelompok mempunyai rerata yang hampir sama, sementara rerata MDA yang diperiksa pada setelah tes pada kelompok pria terlatih dengan suplementasi astaxanthin memiliki rerata MDA terendah, sementara yang tertinggi pada kelompok pria tak terlatih dengan plasebo (p<0,05). Perubahan rerata MDA pada setiap kelompok menunjukkan pola dinamis sama yaitu meningkat tajam langsung setelah tes latihan fisik, mulai mengalami penurunan pada jam ke–6 dan kembali ke rerata awal pada jam ke–24 (p<0,05), kecuali pada kelompok pria tak terlatih dengan plasebo meningkat 2 kali dari nilai awal. Hal ini menunjukkan astaxanthin dan latihan mempunyai efek positif terhadap peningkatan kadar MDA namun tidak memengaruhi pola perubahannya setelah aktivitas fisik berat.

Abstract

High intensity exercise (HI) induces oxidative stress. Running for 2400 meters is one of the simple exercise form which can be counted as HI. During HI, increase of oxygen consumption happened in muscle cell resulted in an increase of oxidant level. The aim of the study was to measure the effects of Indonesian green tea supplementation, before and after HI to the level of lipid peroxidation (TBARSMalonyldialdehyde (MDA)). The subjects of study were 42 male students from Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran (FMUP) and Faculty of Physical Exercise, Indonesia University of Education (FPOK-UPI). The subjects were divided into trained and untrained subject. Subjects were divided into groups using Astrand Harvard step test. The purpose of this test was measuring the level of VO2 max. Blood samples for MDA level were collected at 3 hours before and after high intensity aerobic  exercise. Oxidative stress was induced by 2400 meters run. The result showed that green tea supplement-ation was effective to decrease MDA plasma level especially after exercise. Green tea could serve as natural antioxidant resources, which potentially can be used as potential sport supplemental drink.Key words: Aerobic exercise, Malonyldialdehyde (MDA), pre and post exerciseStudi Pra dan Pasca Pemberian Suplemen Ekstrak Teh Hijauterhadap Kadar MDAHigh intensity exercise (HI) dapat menginduksi stres oksidatif.

Abstract

Background: Prevalence of stunted adolescents is important because related with the cardiometabolic risk factor. Control of risk factors reduces the comorbidity including body mass index (BMI) control. Improvement of environmental factors such as energy and fiber intake contribute to reducing disease risk. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship of a stunted adolescent with BMI, energy and fiber intake. Method: This study used cross-sectional design. The subject consisted of early adolescents with 10 to 14 years old in Jatinangor district, West Java. Determination of short stature and BMI refers to the WHO Growth Chart 2005. Data collection by the measure of height, weight, BMI calculation, and interviewed food intake by 3x24 hour food recall and analyzed with Nutrisurvey program. Statistical analysis by Mann-Whitney U test. Results: A total of 212 participants (106 stunted and 106 non-stunted) were enrolled. The proportion of stunted girls is 58 (54,9%) and stunted boys 48 (45,1%). Average of BMI in stunted is 17,15 (2,59) kg/m2 and 18,38 (3,33) kg/m2 in non-stunted, energy intake is 1.488,83 (513,52)kcal in stunted and 1.704,32 (663,49) in non-stunted,  fiber intake is 4,36 (1,18) g in stunted and  4,53 (2,15) g in non stunted. There are significant differences in all variables between stunted and non-stunted with a p value for BMI 0,017, in energy intake 0,034 and fiber intake 0,032. BMI showed the correlation with disease risk. including cardiometabolic diseases in stunting. Energy intake and low fiber in growth age increase the risk of cardiometabolic diseases because in stunting have a low metabolic adaptation in protein synthesis and fat oxidation. Conclusion: The study shows there is a difference between BMI, energy intake and fiber in the stunted adolescent and non-stunted adolescent. Further research needs to analyze another risk fctor and intervention to improve nutrition status and metabolic condition.

Abstract

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) and Modified British Medical Research Council (MMRC) dyspnea scale are tools used to assess health status in COPD patients, while Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) may represent the degree of airflow limitation. Assessment of COPD patients is rarely performed comprehensively. This study aimed to determine the relationships of CAT and MMRC dyspnea scale and the degree of airflow limitation in COPD patients. Methods: The study was conducted from September until October 2014 after obtaining approval from the Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Ethics Committee. This observational analytic study was performed on 77 medical records of COPD patients at Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. Patients’ medical records included in this study were those with spirometry measurements results, CAT and MMRC dyspnea scale scoring. Data normality was analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. Pearson’s Correlation was used for parametric variables. Spearman’s correlation was used for non-parametric variables.Results: Results showed Pearson’s correlation of CAT and FEV1 (p value=0.035 and r=0.240), and Spearman’s correlation of MMRC dyspnea scale and FEV1 (p value=0.198 and r=0.148).Conclusions: CAT scoring is significantly correlated with the degree of airway limitation. MMRC dyspnea scale is not significantly correlated with the degree of airway limitation.
