Abstract
The crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the way of life, work, and learning processes. The government has issued a policy of adopting a new custom order to suppress the transmission of Covid-19 and continue to move people’s habits. Universities as educational centers have interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary roles and contributions through health promotion research and outreach activities by taking a role in overcoming the Covid-19 pandemic. Universities have an innovative role in preparing for the Covid-19 endemic through their work in education, research, and counseling. With the pandemic and post-Covid-19 preparations, universities are intensifying support in terms of providing health services for the academic community, one of which is sustainable health promotion services. Health promotion on campus after the Covid-19 pandemic can be done by adopting general health promotion strategies, including 1) cross-sectoral coordination, 2) importance and sustainability, 3) empowerment and involvement of the academic community, and 4) equity. Mental health for students and teachers after online teaching is very important. Social media has great potential to promote health and other health interventions as it overcomes some of the limitations of traditional health communication by increasing accessibility, interaction, engagement, empowerment, and adaptation. Health promotion in universities by utilizing social media has several advantages, namely accessibility, convenience, low cost, interaction with end-users, flexibility, status, and visibility. With the good momentum of social media engagement coupled with the new need to focus on health promotion, offering digital media-based online health promotion services is one of the possible actions. Digital media has significant promise for health promotion and other health intervention activities.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A9F1

Abstract
The key foundation for a child’s overall development is their early years. As children learn new things and acquire new types of movement, they require continuous and appropriate support for their cognitive development and movement abilities at this stage. Children’s lives revolve around play because it gives them the opportunity to engage with others, explore their surroundings, and acquire new skills. Stability of posture, or postural balance, is important for young children’s development. A child’s general health can suffer as a result of decreased muscle strength, coordination, and cognitive function brought about by accidents, sports injuries, or aging. This increases the risk of a child falling. Children have the opportunity to exercise and enhance their balance while walking on a balance beam, which is a stable board with supports underneath. Open-ended play, such as that involving a balance beam, can foster children’s imagination and creativity. Data for this study were collected through an online survey method. The entire existing population was used as the sample in a targeted sampling strategy. The online survey was given to 11 participants, and the results showed that 84.3% observed an improvement in balance in young children, 66.9% understood the advantages and risks of using a balance beam, and 87.2% of coaches had used a balance beam when they were younger. One of the training methods to enhance balance skills in young children is the balance beam.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine how circuit training affects the fitness of volleyball players. This research employs an experimental approach using a “one-group pretest-posttest design”. The research instrument is the TKJI (Indonesian Physical Freshness Test) tailored for the age group of 16-19 years. The study population comprises volleyball players from the IPK Kuamang club, with a total of 20 individuals. Sampling was conducted using a targeted sampling technique, and the sample consisted of 10 individuals. Data analysis was carried out using the Liliefors normality test and t-test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results indicated a significant effect of circuit training on physical fitness, as evidenced by an average pre-test score of 12.3 and an average post-test score of 15.2. This conclusion is supported by the finding that t_count = 13.1 > t_table = 1.833 after completing the t-test. Therefore, H₀ is rejected, and H₁ is accepted. Hence, circuit training significantly impacts physical fitness.

Sumarjo, Sigit Nugroho, Riky Dwihandaka, Yudik Prasetyo, Susanto – The effectiveness of massage to increase the work productivity of persons with disabilities. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(3); 76-83

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG143371

Abstract
Introduction. The development of human resources begins even before birth, by focusing on the well-being of expectant mothers, and continues throughout various life stages: infancy, toddlerhood, preschool and school years, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.
Aim. The aim of this research is to examine and assess the effectiveness of a specific type of health massage in enhancing work productivity among individuals with physical disabilities. This productivity encompasses motivation, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and independence.
Method. This study employed a quasi-experimental research method utilizing a one-group time series design (pretest-posttest). The initial observation (pretest) was conducted followed by the posttest observation. The treatment group underwent a massage therapy targeting work productivity factors in people with physical disabilities, encompassing five influential elements: (1) motivation, (2) knowledge, (3) skills, (4) attitudes, and (5) independence. The research sample was drawn from the existing population using a non-random purposive sampling technique. Data collection involved assessments and measurements, with a questionnaire serving as the testing tool for measuring work productivity. Data analysis entailed analysis of variance.
Results. The research findings reveal a significant disparity between the initial and final variables, with a significance value (two-tailed) of less than 0.05, as determined by paired t-tests. However, the ANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.267. This implies a significant impact of the health massage treatment on work productivity variables—motivation, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and independence—for individuals with physical disabilities.
Conclusion. The most substantial and effective increase in work productivity was observed in the motivation variable, with a percentage increase of 16.75%.

Abstract
Milk consumption is one of the beverages options for the recovery phase. On the basis of the manufacturing procedure, raw and pasteurized cow’s milk are distinguished, but no one has investigated the effect of milk consumption on the hemoglobin levels of active people; some studies only analyze the effect of milk consumption on fitness and recovery advantages. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the hemoglobin levels of active adolescents who consumed fresh cow’s milk versus pasteurized milk for three consecutive weeks. It is intended that the three-week treatment will have a good effect on hemoglobin levels, hence enhancing physical performance. Methods: Using a quasi-experimental study with a Pretest-Posttest Randomized-Groups Design for three consecutive weeks of milk feeding twice daily per group. Twenty-four university football players were divided into three groups using the approach of purposive sampling: the fresh cow’s milk (SSS) group, the pasteurized milk (SP) group, and the mineral water control group (K). The tool utilized to measure body composition is the Karada Scan Body Fat Omron HBF-356, while the Easy Touch GCHb is used to collect data on hemoglobin. Subjects participated voluntarily and were willing to have blood tested through capillaries before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after exercise. The analysis data uses paired t-test and ANOVA calculations to find differences within and between groups. Results: Hemoglobin immediately after exercise (0) in the post-test (three weeks after treatment) increased significantly (0.020 < 0.05) compared to hemoglobin before exercise (-) in the pre-test (before three weeks of intervention) in all three groups (fresh milk, pasteurized milk, and mineral water). Upon further examination, it was determined that there was a highly significant difference in hemoglobin levels (0.010 < 0.05) between fresh cow’s milk and pasteurized milk immediately after exercise (0) in the post-test (after three weeks of treatment). In contrast, there were no significant differences (p-value > 0.05) for the remaining calculations, both within and between subgroups.Conclusions: After three consecutive weeks of milk consumption, there was no significant variation in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. To optimize the different elements that can affect the acceleration of the increase in hemoglobin in the blood, it is recommended that further study be conducted to intervene with milk and additional meal intake alongside physical activity.

Rizki Mulyawan, Sumaryanti, Sigit Nugroho, Roxana Dev Omar Dev – Effects of intense workout trials and milk intervention on decrease surrogate markers of metabolic syndrome. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(1); 203-211

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG07B425

Abstract
Surrogate markers of metabolic syndrome complications is high levels of glucose and/or cholesterol in the blood. The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not various intensity exercise has a beneficial impact on blood glucose and cholesterol levels in young adults. As a consequence, this study was investigated about how exercise’s influence on lowering the risk of metabolic diseases may be moderated by other factors, including by milk intake. Studies were conducted using a quasi-experimental, single-blind research design. Thirty-five participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control (C), moderate intensity (M), high intensity (H), or intermittent (I). The Sysmex XN-1000 is used for checking blood content, while the Cobas Pro is used to analyze blood chemistry in the lab. Using tools like the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Mann-Whitney test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient, researchers may gauge the importance of inherent correlations and examine how group-level phenomena and interactions affect those coefficients. To sum up, we found that there was a statistically significant difference in glucose levels between the control group and the experimental group (p = 0.012 < 0.05), yet this difference was accompanied by a negative trend showing a rise in content. Also, there was a favorable tendency toward lower glucose and cholesterol levels across all compositions, while it was not statistically significant (p value > 0.05). To sum up, practically all of the variables point to a favorable tendency that that does not statistically significant – in the effect of exercise intensity combined with milk consumption. Exercise and milk intervention have been shown to have positive impacts, but further investigation or longer training sessions are needed to determine their true magnitude.Keywords
