Factor Analysis of Physiotherapists on the Implementation of Telephysiotherapy in Indonesia
Telephysiotherapy is a long-distance physiotherapy service using technology, including voice or video calls. In Indonesia, telephysiotherapy is not popular compared to abroad, so researchers want to analyze the factors of physiotherapists on implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia. This research was a correlational analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. The independent variables are the attitude, readiness, knowledge, and motivation of physiotherapists in Indonesia in addition, the dependent variable is the implementation of telephysiotherapy with 117 physiotherapists in Indonesia as subjects. Questionnaire used and tested for validity and reliability. By Chi-Square test, the result found that attitude variable obtained a p-value of 0.034 (p <0.05) and OR value of 2.561, which means that a positive attitude increases the implementation of telephysiotherapy by 2 times, while on the readiness variable the p-value 0.008 (p <0.05) with OR 3.237 which means high readiness increases 3 times the implementation of telephysiotherapy and on the variables of knowledge and motivation shows a p-value of 0.042 (p <0.05) with an OR value of 2.415 which means high knowledge and motivation increase the implementation of telephysiotherapy 2 times greater than low knowledge and motivation. This study found that the majority of physiotherapists in Indonesia have a positive attitude and readiness, knowledge, and high motivation towards the implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia, but more physiotherapists in Indonesia have not implemented telephysiotherapy. On the other hand, there is a relationship between the attitude, readiness, knowledge, and motivation of physiotherapists towards the implementation of telephysiotherapy in Indonesia.

The Effect of Integrated Ovitrap in Reducing The Transovarial Transmission Index in DHF Endemise Areas
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a health problem in Indonesia. Pontianak City as the city center of West Kalimantan Province has an important role in the spread of dengue fever. An effective integrated model for vector control is needed to reduce the incidence of dengue fever in endemic areas. We carried out an intervention using the integrated CTVVC and SAMT model for 4 weeks in 100 homes as an intervention group. To determine the impact of implementing this model, blood samples were examined from the population and Aedes Spp eggs were collected into 2 groups, namely the intervention group and the control group for 4 weeks, namely 3 weeks. before the intervention and 3 weeks after. The egg samples were then colonized into adult mosquitoes with an average age of 7 days. Next, the analysis was carried out according to the immunocytochemical method of streptavidin biotin peroxidase complex (ISBPC) and Polymerase Chain Reaction Transcription Reaction (PCR). The measurement results show that the DENV transovarial index in the intervention area is lower than in the control area, namely 40% and 50%, as well as the DENV infection index in the population shows that DENV infection is higher compared to the intervention. area, namely 26.47% and 22.50%. However, statistical analysis did not show the effect of the CTVVC-SAMT integration model on DENV transovarial transmission index and DENV infection in the population with P value: 0.66, P value: 0.109. This research succeeded in identifying the DENV-3 type.

Detection of Dengue Virus in Female Aedes aegypti Mosquito using Reverse Transcription-polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) in West Jakarta
Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an acute disease caused by dengue virus infection which is a clinical manifestation of bleeding, transmitted through the bite of a female mosquito Aedes aegypti. The incidence of dengue fever is still a health problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. There are several ways to detect the presence of dengue virus, namely by Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). The purpose of this study was to detect Dengue virus in adult female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes using RT-PCR. The type of research is a descriptive survey to determine the number of dengue virus transmission in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in Kembangan Village, West Jakarta, especially in RW02 RT 1-10. There are 62 Aedes aegypties found in 100 houses that were selected by simple random sampling. Totally 23 female Aedes aegypties were identified from a total of 62. Moreover, the result showed that all Aedes aegypti mosquitoes caught in were negative for dengue virus. There are several reasons for the limitation of RT-PCR that caused zero findings, including potential false negatives, sensitivity, low quality control measures. Moreover, the small sample size and seasonal reason also played a role in impacting the zero result.

Screening for the Detection of IgG anti-Toxoplasma gondii Antibodies in Female Donors at Semarang Regency
Toxoplasmosis is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T.gondii). Blood and blood products are possible routes of transmission of T. gondii, especially in patients who have undergone multiple transfusions. The aim of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors using blood serum which is analyzed serologically to detect ImmunoglobulinG (IgG) using the Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) method, as well as the relationship between risk factors for toxoplasmosis, such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, eating undercooked meat and eating raw vegetables. This research is an analytic observational study using a cross-sectional study design. The sample taken is female donor candidates who are willing to participate during the study period, from March to September 2023, and have met the inclusion criteria to become research subjects by explaining the purpose and procedure of the study and the consent letter signed by each research subject before blood samples were taken and filling out the research questionnaire. 177 blood serum samples of female donors were collected from blood donor candidates using consecutive sampling method and a questionnaire to obtain risk factor data that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis. The results showed that the seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in the blood of female donor at Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit (UDD PMI) Semarang Regency, Central Java Province was 26.6%. In this study the risk factors that influence the incidence of toxoplasmosis are consuming raw vegetables with 5.835 times more risk than women who do not consume raw vegetables, while other factors such as keeping cats, receiving blood transfusions, and eating undercooked meat, have no significant effect. The seroprevalence of toxoplasmosis in female donors at UDD PMI of Semarang Regency is quite high due to the habit of eating raw vegetables or fresh vegetables with a very high transmission potential.

Effect of Lycopene Administration on the Antioxidant Status of Hypercholesterolemic Wistar Rats (Rattus Norvegicus)
An imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants causes oxidative stress. Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, known to prevent various diseases, can help reduce oxidative stress. The antioxidant lycopene in fruits can prevent carcinogenesis and atherogenesis. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of administering lycopene at doses of 0.36, 0.72, and 1.08 mg/day from tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) fruit extract on the antioxidant levels (Vitamin C, E, and GPx) in hypercholesterolemic Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research methods of this study employ true experiment designs, LSD post hoc, control, and treatment groups. Experimentally, 28 rats with the Wistar strain were assigned to control and treatment groups. Hypercholesterolemic rats were fed high-fat, high-cholesterol with 0.35 ml/day cholesterol crystals. Vitamin C, vitamin E, and GPx levels were measured. The result of this study shows lycopene increased both vitamin C and E (P3 > P2 > P1 > P0). A post hoc LSDV statistical test of vitamin C, vitamin E, and GPX levels shows a significant difference (p = 0.00). The conclusion of this study found that administering a dosage of 0.36 mg/head/day of lycopene to those with high cholesterol levels benefits the body's antioxidant status, thereby improving the overall ability to counteract oxidative stress.

The Effect of Ambient Temperature and Air Humidity on The Body's Hematocrit Levels when Exercising
Sport has a crucial role in improving quality of life and health, but the environment including temperature and humidity can affect athletes' performance and health. This study focused on the impact of environmental temperature and humidity on hematocrit levels during exercise in Padang City. Using an ex-post facto design, the study involved 15 football players with pre-test and post-test hematocrit before and after a 10km jog. The results of the study are the body's hematocrit levels when exercising, evidenced by statistical analysis, namely: a). P value < 0.05, 0.034<0.05, b) Hematocrit increase that occurs with a difference of 1.25%, c) t calculate > t table which is 2.331 > 1.753 with α < 0.05. The normality test shows normally distributed data, validating the results of the analysis. Increased hematocrit is related to oxygen demand and dehydration, which can be exacerbated by high temperatures and humidity. The research underscores the importance of a holistic understanding of the sports environment and the implementation of preventive measures, such as adequate fluid intake. Elevated hematocrit levels can be an indicator of dehydration risk, which can affect physical performance and heart health. Therefore, education on the body's adaptation to environmental changes and safe sports practices needs to be introduced to maintain the health and quality of life of people in environments with high temperatures and humidity. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the body's hematocrit levels when exercising with a P value of < 0.05.

The Effect of Interpersonal Communication Skills, Social Support, and Coping Strategy on Resilience in Master of Nursing Students Who Work on Thesis
The majority of Master of Nursing Students are experiencing moderate to high levels of stress. Especially while working on their thesis. High-stress levels in nursing students can make them vulnerable to mental health disorders. One of the interventions to solve this problem is by building their resilience. Several previous studies related to resilience in nursing students focus more on undergraduate students. This study aims to analyze factors related to resilience in a master of nursing students in one of the state universities in East Java who are working on a thesis and see the fit of the resilience model. This study used a cross-sectional design with a total sampling technique. The minimum sample size is 10x the number of exogenous variables studied. There are 6 exogenous variables in this study so the minimum sample size is 60 respondents. The sample in this study amounted to 63 respondents. Univariate analysis in this study was carried out by analyzing numerical data using mean, median, and standard deviation values. Meanwhile, for categorical data, proportion analysis is used. Multivariate analysis was carried out using Partial Least Square (PLS) using SmartPLS 4. The result of this study shows p-values for X3 and Y, X5 and Y, X6 and Y, X1 and X6, X4 and X6 are below 0,05. So it can be concluded that interpersonal communication skills, social support, and coping strategies are positively related to resilience. Spirituality and physical health were not related to resilience but were positively related to coping strategies. Meanwhile, emotional intelligence is not related to either of them. The resilience model is a good fit. Further research by improving the research design is needed to support the results of this study.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Pre-marital Sexual Intercourse Among Adolescents of School Age in Bima City
Pre-marital sexual behavior among adolescents is still a concern in most of the countries, including Indonesia. The condition would be worse due to the discontinuation of the study, pre-marital pregnancy, and risk of sexually transmitted diseases. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of pre-marital sexual intercourse and factors associated among adolescents of school age in Kendal, Indonesia. This cross-sectional study employed 176 in grade XI from 9 classes in Senior High School 4 Bima, aged 15 to 18 years old in Bima City, Indonesia. The sample was selected by proportionate stratified random sampling. The dependent variable is pre-marital sex and the independent variables are knowledge, self-control, relationship status, role of teacher, and role of health worker. The data analysis was done using univariate (frequency and percentage) and bivariate analysis (Chi-square and simple logistic regression) using SPSS software. The result found prevalence of adolescents who were at risk of having sexual intercourse was 26.1%. The factors significantly associated with pre-marital sex are not having self-control (COR 8.5) and being in a relationship (COR 5.0). However, other variables including knowledge, the role of the teacher, and the role of health workers did not find significant association with pre-marital sex. Future studies can add more potential predictors to the study including the level of household, school, and community. The government needs to add the issue of pre-marital sex as well as the tendency to discontinue the study if pre-marital pregnancy occurs. Self-control can be strengthened by involving religious activity in school. Some recommendations for school-based sexual education programs, youth counseling services, or community interventions for the target population could work more to prevent pre-marital sexual intercourse among adolescents of school age.

The Local Tradition of Gorontalo and Health Anthropology: Gorontalo’s Experience in Addressing the COVID-19 Pandemic
This paper explores the overlapping consensus between indigenous kinship practices and the spread of diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the community’s way of life and behaviour, yet Gorontalo’s indigenous kinship-based traditions contradict the implemented health protocols. Due to their foundation in the kinship system (ngala’a), these traditions necessitate everyday interactions among individuals. The clash between local traditions and health procedures leads to the widespread transmission of Covid-19. This research argues that relying on Gorontalo’s traditions would increase the likelihood of community exposure to COVID-19, as shown by descriptive analysis. Therefore, it is fundamental to reassess the significance of traditions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Potential of Kalelo Yogurt as Supplementary Foods to Prevent Stunting
This study aims to determine the potential of kalelo yogurt as supplementary feeding to prevent stunting. This type of research was pre-experimental with the Post-test only design method with the yogurt formula treatment. The statistical analysis used was Complete Randomized Design (CRD) 3 X 2 followed by Duncan test to see the difference in each formulation. And the organoleptic test of kalelo yogurt was processed using the Analysis Of Variant (ANOVA) test and Duncan test to see the level of difference significant at α level of 0.05. Results: The best formula of kalelo yogurt based on nutrient content was F1, which was consumed simultaneously with other foods to increase its nutritional value. While organoleptic tests showed F3 as the best product, with a rating level of (somewhat dislike-neutral). Based on the test results, the panelists still did not like kalelo yogurt very much, as it can be seen from the results of panelist evaluations ranging from somewhat dislike to neutral (4-5). This could be due to the aroma, taste and texture that were different from a solid yogurt. With increasing incubation time, microbial activity increases and the number of microbes increases, resulting in the pH of the medium decreasing. The best kalelo yogurt product from organoleptic and nutrient content was F3 and F1, respectively. The nutritional, energy and micronutrient content of the three formulas were not significantly different. To fulfill the nutritional needs of sufficient numbers requirements, pregnant women are advised to consume several times a day accompanied by other foods.

Effectiveness of Mango Mistletoe on Lung Superoxide Dismutase in Hypertensive Rats Exposed to DOCA-Salt
Vascular disease, caused by oxidative stress and endothelial cell inflammation during hypertension's development, produces substantial mortality and morbidity. Mango mistletoe was tested for its effect on pulmonary superoxide dismutase (SOD) in hypertensive rats exposed to DOCA-salt in a preventative model. This study involves experimental quantitative research. SPSS was used for one-way ANOVA and post-hoc LSD testing. The population used was male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). The samples used were 25 male Wistar rats divided into five treatment groups because of the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality analysis. The treatment group included a negative control group, a positive control group, and a group given different doses of mango mistletoe methanol extract: P1 at 75 mg/kgBW, P2 and P3 at 150 mg/kgBW, and P3 at 250 mg/kgBW. The study indicated that 250 mg/kg BW mango mistletoe extract increased SOD levels in DOCA-Garam-exposed Wistar white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Enhanced superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde (MDA), ureum, creatinine, and renal histology see this. The normality of study data in the complete group assessing SOD, MDA, ureum, and creatinine levels showed a significance value larger than 0.05. The significance probability and one-way ANOVA test values are more than 0.05. The study found that mango mistletoe extract contains saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and triterpenoids that increase SOD levels and repair kidney cells damaged by hypertension in Wistar white rats. The study examined how mango mistletoe extract affects mouse hypertension. However, its conclusions should not be applied to humans. Clinical trials are needed to determine mango mistletoe extract's safety and efficacy for humans.

Latrine Quality Associated with Diarrhoea Incidence in Mekarsari Health Centre Area, Lebak Regency
The World Health Organization defines sanitation as the provision of facilities and services for the disposal of human excreta, such as urine and feces, including family latrines. In 2019, the percentage of families in Banten province using latrines was 70.5%, lower than the national average of 72.3% for those using permanent sanitary latrines. Sanitation is related to environmental health, which influences public health. Poor sanitation conditions have negative impacts on various aspects of life, ranging from the degradation of community environmental quality to the contamination of drinking water sources, the increase in diarrheal diseases, and the emergence of other illnesses. Diarrheal diseases are potential endemic diseases with outbreaks often resulting in fatalities in Indonesia. The prevalence of diarrhea in 2018, diagnosed by healthcare professionals, was 6.8%, and based on self-reported symptoms, it was 8%. This study aims to determine the relationship between the quality of family latrines and the occurrence of diarrhea in the Mekarsari Community Health Center area, Lebak Regency, using a cross-sectional study design. The study population consists of all families with family latrines (goose-neck latrines) in the Mekarsari Community Health Center area, with a sample size of 88 families. Statistical chi-square tests were conducted at an alpha level of 0.05. The results indicate that nearly all respondents (93.2%) were male, predominantly in the productive age group (96.6%). The majority of respondents had low levels of education (67%), and almost all were non-civil servants (97.7%). Monthly income for most respondents (73.9%) was below the Lebak Regency Minimum Wage (< Rp 2,944,665). A proportion (17%) of families still had low-quality latrines, and some family members suffered from diarrhea (13.6%). There is a significant association between latrine quality and the occurrence of diarrhea (p=0.005). Families with low-quality latrines are over seven times more likely to suffer from diarrhea compared to those with high-quality latrines (OR=7.44). Empowerment through health education and support is necessary to enable families to understand, accept, and adopt behaviors to improve, construct, and maintain family latrines, thus ensuring diarrhea-free households.

Contraceptive Methods Selection in Women of Childbearing Age (WUS) in South Sulawesi Province
The primary challenge in the population domain is the presence of a large population with a relatively high growth rate. This study aims to ascertain the distribution of modern contraceptives and identify the variables influencing the selection of contraceptive methods among women of childbearing age. The research employed an analytical cross-sectional study design, utilizing bivariate analysis (chi-square test) and multivariate analysis (logistic regression test) for data analysis. The study used secondary data from the 2019 SKAP. The population and research sample were taken based on the cluster approach as an enumeration area. This study takes all women of childbearing age (15-49 years) based on selected clusters in South Sulawesi Province. Among the participants, 205 (25.6%) chose Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (MKJP), while 599 (74.4%) opted for Non-Long-Term Contraceptive Methods (Non-MKJP). Bivariate analysis revealed three variables significantly associated with the choice of contraceptive method: education level, parity, and husband's support (p-value < 0.05). In the logistic regression test utilizing the backward method, the Odds Ratio (OR) values were obtained: for parity (OR = 1.683), signifying that women with child parity >2 were 1.683 times more likely to use MKJP compared to those with parity 2; for husband's support (OR = 1.733), indicating that women receiving husband's support had 1.733 times the likelihood of using MKJP compared to those without husband's support; and for education level (OR = 2.008), suggesting that those with a higher education level were 2.008 times more likely to use MKJP compared to those with lower education. The sequence of related variables influencing contraceptive choice was education level, followed by husband's support, and then parity percentage.

The Analysis of Factors Affecting Burnout Rate in Nurses Working in Adult Nursing Rooms at Hospital
Burnout syndrome is a response to physical and mental fatigue caused by increased workloads and emotionally demanding work situations that can be triggered by prolonged exposure to workplace stress. Nurses who work in nursing rooms and street nurses are potentially stressed by overloaded job demands related to service to others. Burnout syndrome, if not addressed promptly, can have a hazardous impact on health professionals, including reduced performance, such as low responsibility, high risk of medical errors, reduced commitment to work, and high self-stress. One of the efforts that can be made is to measure the level of work stress and the factors associated with it. Therefore, researchers are interested in conducting research that analyzes factors that influence burnout rates among nursing nurses in private hospitals in Surakarta. This type of research is quantitative research with a cross-sectional research design. The sampling technique in this study uses total sampling with a total sample of 47 respondents. The respondents to this study were all the nurses who worked in the adult nursing establishment of the hospital where the research was carried out. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory questionnaire, which has been adapted into Indonesian, is used to measure the burnout rate of nurses working in adult nursing rooms. The results of the study showed that of the eight factors tested, only two factors influenced the burnout rate of nurses in adult nursing facilities: the working time factor and the length of shift per week (in hours). The p-value of both factors was 0.001. Of the two factors, the time factor was the most influential factor on burnout rates in nurses in adult hospital facilities, with an unstandardized B value of 0.317. While the study examines several demographic and work-related factors potentially associated with burnout, it may overlook other critical determinants. For instance, organizational factors (e.g., leadership support, workload distribution, organizational culture) and individual coping mechanisms could significantly influence nurses' burnout experiences. Future research should consider a more comprehensive range of factors to provide a holistic understanding of burnout in nursing.

Food Security and Nutritional Status of Toddlers Post-Disaster in Palu City
Palu City is the capital of Central Sulawesi Province which is prone to earthquakes because there is a fault in the earth's crust known as the Palu-Koro fault. There were 3 disasters at once in Central Sulawesi, namely the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction in 2018. Natural disasters can have an impact on various kinds of losses experienced by the community, including nutritional disorders and disrupted components of food security. Toddlers are the group most vulnerable to nutritional problems and food insecurity in disaster situations up to post-disaster. This study aims to determine household food security and nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. This research is a descriptive type of research using a cross-sectional by looking at the relationship between household food security and the nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 101 respondents consisting of mothers and toddlers. The instruments used were the USDA questionnaire to assess food security and measurements of length or height and weight to measure the nutritional status of children under five. Data collection used a USDA questionnaire to assess household food security and the BB/U index was used to assess the nutritional status of children under five. There is no significant relationship between food security and nutritional status of children under five after the disaster in Palu City. This can happen because children under five with nutritional status of normal or abnormal weight 76.24% come from families with high food security scores. In addition, the existence of good food distribution in Palu City after the disaster occurred was also a cause of good food availability.

The Effect of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on Reducing Malondialdehyde Levels and Liver Histopathology in Male Rattus Norvegicus with Hypercholesterolemia
All living things age physiologically. Free radicals attack cells as they age, causing damage, disruption, and death. Free radicals oxidize and damage cell membrane lipids. The body needs optimum antioxidants during oxidative stress. This study hypothesizes EVOO can lower MDA and total cholesterol and repair liver histopathology in hypercholesterolemic Wistar male rats—this research with a pre-post-test control group experiment. The study found that the control group's MDA level was 0.14 ± 0.03 nmol/ml before treatment (pretest), while the group given standard meal for mice and distilled water/day/head for 14 days had a drop to 0.13 ± 0.10 nmol/ml. In treatment group 1, the average MDA level was 0.73 ± 0.03 nmol/ml before treatment, and after 14 days of high-fat, high-cholesterol meal without EVOO, the average MDA level was 0.73 ± 0.03 nmol/ml and dropped to 0.48 ± 0.10 nmol/ml. Treatment group 2 had an average MDA level of 0.22 ± 0.02 nmol/ml before treatment, but after receiving a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet and a 1cc dose of EVOO for 14 days, it decreased to 0.17 ± 0.02 nmol/ml. Before therapy, the mean MDA level in group 3 was 0.17 ± 0.02 nmol/mL. Giving mice a lot of fat and cholesterol and a two cc dose of EVOO for 14 days lowered their MDA levels to 0.08 ± 0.01 nmol/ml, ranging from 0.10 to 0.05. The research concluded that average MDA decreased significantly in treatment group 3 after mice were fed high-fat, high-cholesterol feed and given two ccs of EVOO.

The Overview of Nutritional Status and Blood Glucose Levels of Pregnant Women at the Ubud Health Center, Bali
The nutritional status of pregnant women can be determined by measuring the size of mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and body mass index (BMI). Women with excessive nutritional status have a high risk of various complications. This study aims to describe the nutritional status and blood glucose levels of pregnant women at the Ubud Health Center, Bali. This descriptive study was conducted on 27 pregnant women who had antenatal care at the Ubud Health Center. MUAC size was measured using a measuring tape, while BMI was measured by calculating body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Blood glucose levels were measured using the point of care testing (POCT) method. From 27 respondents, it was found that 23 respondents had normal MUAC, 3 respondents had less than normal, and 1 respondent was obese. Based on BMI, 14 respondents had normal BMI, 5 respondents were overweight, and 8 respondents were obese. For blood glucose levels, all respondents have normal levels. Respondents who have MUAC less than normal can be at risk of chronic energy deficiency, while respondents with the obese category can be at risk of GDM, hypertension, and cesarean section. Pregnant women with GDM can increase the risk of type 2 DM, cardiovascular disease and have the potential to give birth macrosomic babies. Pregnant women with GDM almost never give complaints, so screening is necessary. Screening can be done by measuring the nutritional status of pregnant women and blood glucose levels during antenatal care at health center.

The Effect of Exercise on Mental Health: Coping with Stress and Anxiety Through Physical Activity (Systematic literature review)
This study is a systematic review that aims to evaluate the effect of exercise on mental health, especially in overcoming stress and anxiety. By reviewing a number of studies selected through strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, the review gathered data from a variety of sources including peer-reviewed journals, articles. The data analysis method used is meta-analysis. The results showed that physical activity can significantly reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. This applies to different types of sports, from aerobics, yoga, to strength training. This therapeutic effect is associated with the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters that play a role in improving mood and reducing tension. In addition, exercise also improves sleep quality and aids in the regulation of circadian rhythms, which directly affect the management of stress and anxiety. The study also found that exercise intensity and duration played a role in its tiveness. Light to moderate exercise, performed regularly, is more effective in reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety compared to sporadic high-intensity exercise. Consistency and continuity in exercise routines prove to be more important than the intensity of exercise performed. However, the study also acknowledged variations in individual responses to exercise. Factors such as age, gender, initial health conditions, and personal preference for the type of exercise can affect how effective exercise is at coping with stress and anxiety in a particular individual. Taken together, these findings provide strong evidence supporting the use of exercise as a non-pharmacological strategy in managing stress and anxiety. The study encourages health practitioners to recommend exercise as an integral part of mental health treatment plans, as well as suggesting further research to explore specific mechanisms behind the psychological benefits of physical activity.
