ABSTRACT

The existence of the aging process causes a decline in work performance and a decrease in physical capacity in the elderly, and to prove the effectiveness of traditional dance gymnastics at the social services of South Sulawesi was a research goal. The subjects in this study were 50 elderly people divided into 25 pare pare (n = 01) people and 25 tendri abbeang (n = 02). The experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design was used. The experimental group (01) performed traditional gymnastic exercises with a frequency of 6 times a week for 1 month. The control group (02) did daily activities without regular (conventional) treatment with the same frequency as the experimental group. The first instrument in this study was body composition/BMI with the ATmega16 microcontroller, the second instrument was the pulmonary endurance fitness test with ROCPORT and the third instrument was the pulse test describing arterial frequency, with a frequency of exercise 6 times per week with an intensity of 60%-90% of HRR or 50%-85%voMAX with a duration of 30 minutes. The results of data analysis showed that there was an increase (n = 01) higher than (n = 02), which obtained an average pre-test of 3.06 and a post-test of 4.02 with a standard deviation of 9,272 and 9,129. The mean pre and post test showed 0.962, and the mean of both was positive, meaning that there was a tendency to increase the fitness level after and before treatment with the mean showing the number 0.962. In the t-test with a significance level of 0.05, Sig. (2-tailed) was 0.000. This value has indicated that H0 is rejected because the p-value Sig. (2- tailed) < 0.05. It can be said that Padduppa traditional dance-based physical fitness exercises are effective and significant in increasing the level of physical fitness of the elderly.
