Pengaruh Olahraga Aerobik Tipe Closed Skill Terhadap Konsentrasi Mahasiswa Kedokteran Universitas Airlangga

This research was conducted to determine the effect of using aerobic of closed-skill type toward students’ concentration of Pediatric Department of Universitas Airlangga. This research was experimental design which randomized pre-test post-test control group with 36 students who seldom doing sport as samples. These students were divided into two groups; experimental group and control group. Experimental group did aerobic with closed technique type training which medium to high intensity around 75 minutes a week for 3 weeks. On the otherwise, control group did not do it. The research instruments were xbox with kinetic sensor and attention network test. The students’ concentration was measured three aspects such as alerting, orienting and conflict effect. This analysis technique was done by using statistical technique through SPSS. The result shown that there was no significant different between experimental group and control group by comparing average score of pre-test and post-test for alerting aspect (0.895), orienting (0.572), and conflict effect (0.019). Therefore, there was significant different from pre-test and post-test of control group for conflict effect (0.019) but there were not significant different for alerting (0.072) and orienting (0.735) and for experimental group, there was significant different in alerting (0.02) and conflict (0.001) but there was not significant different for orienting effect (0.653). It can be concluded that there was not significant effect on students’ concentration between control group (0.778) and experimental group (0.571). It means that aerobic cannot influence students’ concentration

PENGARUH OLAHRAGA AEROBIK TERHADAP KONSENTRASI MAHASISWA FAKULTAS KEDOKTERAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA

Aerobic exercise has been known to have great benefits to cognitive effect, however there are no consistent results in previous researches on relation between aerobic exercise and concentration. Objective: This research aims to study the effect of aerobic exercise towards concentration. Method: This study is experimental research with 36 samples divided into 2 groups: control that not do aerobic exercise, and intervention that do high intensity aerobic exercise for 75 minutes per week in 3 weeks. one week before and after intervention, the concentration of the samples tested with attention network test to assesses alerting, orienting, and conflict effect. The data are analyzed statistically. Result: Control and intervention groups obtained no significant changes in between pretest and posttest of the alerting (P: 0.895), orienting (P: 0.572) and conflict effect (P: 0.864). And the results of the pretest and posttest of control group had significant changes in the conflict effect (P: 0.019) and no significant changes in alerting (P: 0.072) and orienting (P: 0.735), and the intervention group had significant changes in alerting (P: 0.02) and conflict effect (P: 0.001) and no significant changes in orienting effect (P: 0.653). There’s no significant difference found in the comparison of the total concentration score from pretest and posttest of both control (P: 0.778) and intervention groups (P: 0.571). Conclusion: In this study, aerobic exercise doesn’t affect the concentration of students of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Airlangga. Further research with longer duration and strict control over other factors is required
