People all over the world are required to practice social distancing and undergoing self-quarantine and homeisolation during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite social distancing can slow down the widespread of COVID-19, it means people will spend much of their time at home and will be physically inactive. Therefore, the study aims to identify the levels of physical activity of Indonesian people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a cross-sectional design, 90 participants completed online questionnaires. Assessment of physical activity was made using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF). Data were collected from June to July 2020 during the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions amid COVID-19 in Indonesia. It was found that nearly half of the participants engage in a low level of physical activity. Furthermore, a genderbased disparity in physical activity is demonstrated in the current study. Females were more likely to engage in low-intensity physical activity, while males involved in high-intensity physical activity. The current study also suggests that the majority of participants spent 4 to 6 hours of working and sitting every day during stay-athome order. As a result, those people may have fewer opportunities for participating in physical activity. In conclusion, the implementation of Large-Scale Social Restrictions Regulation may increase the risk of physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors.

Menua senantiasa disertai dengan perubahan di semua sistem dalam tubuh manusia, termasuk penurunan pada fungsi kognitif. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan fungsi kognitif pada lanjut usia (lansia) adalah melalui pemberian brain gym. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian brain gym exercise terhadap fungsi kognitif pada lansia. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian eksperimental. Sampel yang digunakan merupakan lansia di Puskesmas Tamalanrea Jaya Makassar yang berjumlah 20 orang. Sampel kemudian dibagi secara acak ke dalam dua kelompok, yaitu kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol. Fungsi kognitif pada lansia diukur menggunakan Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perubahan fungsi kognitif yang bermakna antara sebelum dan setelah pemberian brain gym pada kelompok intervensi (p<0,05), sedangkan tidak terdapat perubahan bermakna antara sebelum dan setelah pemberian senam lansia pada kelompok kontrol (p>0,05). Selain itu, ditemukan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan nilai fungsi kognitif yang bermakna antara kedua kelompok (p>0,05). Namun, nilai rata-rata fungsi kognitif pada kelompok intervensi lebih besar dibandingkan nilai rata-rata pada kelompok kontrol. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh pemberian brain gym exercise terhadap perubahan fungsi kognitif pada lansia.
