Abstract

Background: A sedentary lifestyle such as watching TV and video for a long time, or playing PlayStation, is experienced by two-thirds of children, especially in developing countries. The fitness levels of elementary school students are not all in a good condition. So far, there is no study of healthy children with 2-minute walk test method. Therefore, the researcher is interested to do research about fitness level with 2-minute walk test. Aim: The purpose of this research is to determine the fitness level of Mojo VI elementary school Surabaya. Material and Methods: The method used in this research is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional research design using total sampling. Data collection was using primary data obtained from the results of 2-minute walk test. Results: The fitness level based on age obtained the highest average value at the oldest age of 12 years old with an average of 207.30 m±17.359. While the lowest average value at the youngest age was 184.96 m±15.991. Meanwhile, based on gender, it obtained higher average value in male students (201.81 m±22.06 m) than female students (194.30 m±14.29 m). Conclusion: The higher the age, the higher the student's fitness level. Meanwhile, based on gender, the fitness level of a male is higher than a woman.

Abstract

Background: Depression is one of the most common causes of disabilities and poor quality of life worldwide. One-fifth of patients fail to respond to antidepressant therapy. Hence, adjunct therapy is urgently needed. Aim: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and aerobic exercise as adjunct therapy on activity of daily living and quality of life in depressed patients. Material and Methods: A randomized-controlled experiment was conducted between May 2019 and January 2020. Twenty-seven depressed patients were divided into three groups for two weeks: antidepressant-only, antidepressant-and-aerobic exercise, and antidepressant-and-rTMS. The Barthel Index and SF-36 were used to assess the activity of daily living and quality of life. Results: After the intervention, there were no appreciable changes in the Barthel Index scores in any of the three groups (p>0.05). Following therapy, SF-36 results for physical function, bodily discomfort, public health, vitality, social function, emotional role functioning, and mental health all showed substantial improvements across groups (p 0.05). Patients in the antidepressant and rTMS groups improved more than those in the other two groups in the areas of overall health (15.71±6.075, p=0.009), emotional role functioning (20.29±11.940, p=0.049), and mental health (14.29±6.075, p=0.041). However, the Barthel Index score changes did not differ between groups (p=0.664). Conclusion: Better quality of life improvement in the rTMS group compared to the other two groups supports the use of rTMS as an additional therapy. It aims to enhance quality of life in patients with moderate and severe first-episode depression.
