About

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate and compare the impact of SI Kumbang gymnastic exercise and Bugar Lansia gymnastic exercise programs on physical performance dan immunity in elderly. It will also learn about the safety of SI Kumbang gymnastic exercise. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How does cardiorespiratory fitness differ between SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia exercise?
How does muscle strength differ between SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia exercise?
How does balance differ between SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia exercise?
How does physical activity differ between SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia exercise?
How do Caspase-1 and IL-18 inflammasomes differ between SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia exercise? Researchers will compare SI Kumbang gymnastic exercise to a Bugar Lansia gymnastic exercise to see if SI Kumbang gymnastic exercise better than Bugar Lansia gymnastic exercise.

Participants will:

Do SI Kumbang gymnastic exercise or Bugar Lansia gymnastic exercise a within 3 times a week for 3 months.
Visit the clinic twice for outcome assesment before and after intervention.
Keep a diary of their symptoms.

Full description

A sample size of 33 people per group was determined. The study supervisor oversaw the use of a basic randomization program to carry out the random allocation. The Sequentially Numbered, Opaque, Sealed Envelope (SNOSE) technique was used to guarantee allocation concealment. Outcome assessors were subjected to single blinding; they were not told about group allocations and were not allowed to look for relevant information. The "SI Kumbang" and "Bugar Lansia" gymnastics exercise regimens were part of the intervention groups. For 12 weeks in a row, both therapies included three 30-minute sessions per week. Participants received adaption sessions to acquaint themselves with the workout regimens throughout the first week. The Borg Scale was utilized to track intensity.

The research team reviewed patient logbooks at the beginning of each week to track adverse effects such weariness, shortness of breath, pain, or dizziness. At RS Islam Jakarta Pondok Kopi, every suspected adverse event was swiftly assessed, and any required medical attention was given. Every adverse event was reported to the ethics committee of the institution.

Data analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0 tests with significance set at p<0.05. Descriptive summaries of the sample characteristics were provided. Prior to analysis, the normality of the data was checked. Dependent t-tests were used to compare pre intervention and post intervention score in the SI Kumbang and Bugar Lansia groups for normally distributed outcomes (6MWD, handgrip, SPPB, PASE, Caspase-1, IL-18); the Wilcoxon test was used to assess non-normal data. Independent t test or Mann-Whitney U test is used for compared the effectiveness of the two interventions (∆ score). A p-value of less than 0.05 was deemed significant.
