PENGARUH KOMBINASI ANTARA SENAM AEROBIC LOW IMPACT DENGAN DIAPHRAGMA BREATHING EXERCISE TERHADAP TINGKAT KUALITAS TIDUR DI KOMUNITAS LANSIA MALANG

This study explores the impact of a combination of low-impact aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic breathing exercise on the sleep quality of elderly individuals in the Malang community. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest setup. A total of 34 elderly participants aged over 60 years were involved in this study. Results indicated that prior to the intervention, all respondents experienced poor sleep quality. However, after 12 sessions of intervention, 29 respondents displayed an improvement in sleep quality to good. Statistical testing with a p-value < 0.05 demonstrated a significant effect of the intervention on sleep quality in the elderly. This study suggests that the combination of low-impact aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic
breathing exercise can enhance sleep quality among the elderly.
