Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the potential of exercise massage on ischemic muscle pain and ROM after exercise. This experimental research uses a pre and post control group design. Research subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique. Next, the subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely group (K1) which was not given special treatment and group (K2) which was given sports massage. A total of 18 healthy men participated in this study. Our first procedure is preparing research administration and permission to borrow facilities and infrastructure. Next, we screened respondents who were used as research subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and filled out Informed Consent. On the day of the research, all subjects collected data on the characteristics of the research subjects, then warmed up, and then the subjects did exercises in the form of treadmill training with an intensity of 50-60% of their maximum ability. The intensity of the exercise was monitored using a polarizer. Exercise is carried out for 15 minutes. 30 minutes after exercise, all subjects had pre-test data taken to measure ischemic muscle pain and Range of Motion. After collecting pre-test data, subjects carried out interventions based on their respective groups. After being given the intervention, the subject carried out post-test data collection. The intensity of ischemic muscle pain was measured using VAS and ROM was measured at the knee joint using a goniometer. The results of our study reported that the group given exercise massage was able to reduce the intensity of systemic muscle pain and increase ROM significantly (P < 0.05). Providing sports massage after exercise can reduce ischemic muscle pain and increase ROM. Considering that pain intensity and ROM are necessary to support body function, our research findings can be used as an alternative to support physical performance.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20BSbq

Abstract
This review aims to highlight the potential of physical exercise and curcumin supplementation in reducing pain intensity in women with primary dysmenorrhea. This research uses a systematic review method. Studies were identified through Proquest, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and PMC Europe electronic databases. The inclusion criteria in this study were international journals that focused on discussing aerobic exercise, stretching, core strengthening, Zumba, and FITT as treatment methods for PD, as well as articles that discussed the efficacy of curcumin as a PD treatment. The exclusion criteria in this study were international journals that had been published in the last 5 years and articles that were not relevant to PD treatment. For standard operationalization, this Study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Based on the results of the review, physical exercise such as aerobic exercise, treadmill, Zumba, squatting exercise, and therapeutic exercise which is done regularly has the potential to reduce the intensity of menstrual pain. Furthermore, curcumin supplementation at a dose of 500-1000 mg can help reduce complaints of primary dysmenorrhea by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) reaction so that it can reduce inflammation and inhibit uterine contractions which cause menstrual pain.

Abstract
This study aims to provide information about efforts to improve children’s motor skills during the COVID-19 Endemic. The method used in this study is a systematic review through searching articles in research journal databases such as the Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Embase. The keywords in this search were motor skills, children, COVID-19, lifestyle and exercise. A total of 3348 articles from the Web of Science, Pubmed, Scopus, and Embase databases were identified. A further 7 articles that met all inclusion requirements or at least some of them were selected for this systematic review. For standard operationalization, this study follows the PRISMA. The results of this study confirmed several efforts could be made to improve children’s motor skills during the COVID-19 endemic period, for example, physical exercise, play-based activities, and other basic skills such as running, jumping, and throwing. This systematic review study reports that several efforts can be made to improve children’s motor skills during the COVID-19 endemic period, such as increasing physical exercise, playing activities, and performing basic skills such as running, jumping, and throwing. These types of exercises will help improve motor skills, especially locomotor skills. In addition, the role of parents is very necessary in controlling the activities carried out by children during the COVID-19 endemic.
