Abstract

Low-impact aerobics is gymnastics performed at low intensity or using light beats with feet still attached to the floor without jumping. This study aimed to analyze the effects of low-impact aerobics gymnastics on cholesterol levels and the decrease in the body mass index in elderly people. This study applied a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. The subjects of this study included 35 female members of the Salamah Larasati (SALSA) elderly school in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province. The study subjects received low-impact aerobics gymnastics twice a week, every Tuesday and Saturday, for two months, from June 12th 2023 to August 12th 2023. The study results showed that the low-impact aerobics gymnastics affected the cholesterol level and the body mass index in elderly people, members of the Salamah Larasati (SALSA) elderly school in Bantul Regency. It is suggested for elderly people to be able to control their cholesterol level and body mass index by exercising using low-impact aerobics gymnastics to reduce the risks of getting cardiovascular disease and to be healthy and productive.
