Achievement in the sport of archery is determined based on the sum of the scores of arrows shot by an athlete hitting the target. This sport requires full concentration and good muscle endurance to support performance in the competition area. Muscle endurance is also influenced by muscle strength, which can be seen from an archery athlete’s composition of muscle mass. This research aims to determine the influence of bow training on upper arm muscle hypertrophy. This research uses a pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest approach. The test instrument uses a Seca Body Analyzer and a scale used to measure muscle hypertrophy with a kilogram measuring scale. Participants in this research were 17 archery athletes from Malang City. The results of the research show that based on data analysis, a t-value p-value < 0.05 can be obtained. These results indicate that there is an effect of bow training on muscle mass. Therefore, it can be interpreted that bow training has an effect on arm muscle hypertrophy in adolescent archery athletes in the city of Malang. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, it can be concluded that there is an influence of bow training on upper arm muscle hypertrophy in adolescent archery athletes in Malang City. This can be used as a guideline in creating a training program during competition preparation for archery athletes.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is chronic disorders of the central nervous system. One of the most common complaints in patients with multiple sclerosis is fatigue. Exercise can improve physical performance. Studies suggests that exercise activity can be beneficial for fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Objectives: To study influence of exercise activities on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Methods: Researchers used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analysis. Researchers searched articles on PubMed, Google scholar and by manual search. Searched articles were screened for relevancy. By use of inclusion and exclusion criteria potential articles were selected. Results: Out of 229 articles, finally 5 studies included in current meta-analysis. Exercise activities has effect on fatigue. Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) score: SMD = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.06–0.87. Conclusion: Exercise activities can provide beneficial effect on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. This can help patients with multiple sclerosis in daily life activities There is wide scope for further studies to evaluate beneficial effects of exercise activities.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in older adults, comparing those living in care facilities with community-dwelling individuals. Additionally, it examined diurnal variations in physical activity across different intensity levels. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 10 older adults residing in a care facility (mean age 84.0 ± 6.2 years) and 17 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 75.7 ± 4.7 years). Participants wore a triaxial accelerometer for 1 week to measure sedentary behavior (SB), light physical activity (LPA), and MVPA. Data were analyzed by dividing the 15-h period (6:00–21:00) into five 3-h intervals to examine activity patterns. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, and multiple regression analyses identified factors associated with MVPA. Results: Compared with community-dwelling older adults, their counterparts in care facilities engaged in significantly less MVPA. Long-term care certification, daily step counts, and time spent in LPA were key factors associated with MVPA. Diurnal patterns revealed that community-dwelling older adults were more active from 9:00–18:00, whereas those in care facilities spent more time in SB, particularly between 9:00 and 12:00. Conclusions: Long-term care certification, daily step counts, and LPA were key factors influencing MVPA. Furthermore, significant differences in physical activity patterns between institutionalized and community-dwelling older adults highlight the need for tailored activity promotion programs.
