Background: Neck pain is characterized by pain in the posterior-inferior part of the occiput and neck pain is become increasingly common in individuals. Objective: To find out the intensity and level of disability of neck pain among undergraduate physical therapy students of Agile Institute of Rehabilitation Sciences because medical students are at high-risk group of developing neck pain. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study. We included 145 students with neck pain, from 1st year to final year, both male and female in age 18-30 years. The data was collected by using convenient sampling technique. The pain was measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to classify the severity of disability of their neck. The data was entered in SPSS version 25 for analysis. The frequency tables and graphs were used to represent the results. Results: In this study 145 participants were included, out of all 108(74.5%) were females and 37(25.5%) were males, with mean age 24.75+5.25 years. This study shows that 74(51.0%) participants had mild pain, 61(42.1%) had moderate pain and 10(6.9%) participants had worse pain. The categories of NDI were mild among 85.5%, 8.3 % were in moderate and 6.2% were in sever disability category. Conclusion: According to the findings, undergraduate students have mild pain and mild disability according to NPRS and NDI respectively.

“…Gambar tersebut serupa dengan beberapa penelitian pada mahasiswa yang juga didominasi oleh usia 19-21 tahun dan perempuan. 12,13 Usia dan jenis kelamin dapat mempengaruhi tingkat aktivitas fisik, yaitu pada usia muda dan jenis kelamin laki-laki memiliki tingkat aktivitas fisik yang lebih tinggi. Hal tersebut dapat diduga menyebabkan tingkat aktivitas fisik mahasiswa PS SKed sebagian besar pada tingkat sedang, namun pada penelitian ini tidak dilakukan anallisis lebih lanjut.…”

“…Hal tersebut dapat diduga menyebabkan tingkat aktivitas fisik mahasiswa PS SKed sebagian besar pada tingkat sedang, namun pada penelitian ini tidak dilakukan anallisis lebih lanjut. 10, 13 Tingkat aktivitas fisik klasifikasi sedang ini, berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya pada lokasi yang sama yaitu pada PS SKed FKUB dan yang berbeda yaitu pada Fakultas Kedokteran Udayana. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi karena perbedaan instrumen pengukuran Tingkat aktivitas fisik yang sebelumnya menggunakan GPAQ dari WHO dan kini menggunakan IPAQ.…”

Noncommunicable Disease (NCD) masih menjadi penyebab kematian terbesar di dunia termasuk di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Dua faktor risiko nonmetabolik dan metabolik utama yang dapat dimodifikasi adalah aktiivas fisik dan obesitas. Penurunan tingkat aktivitas fisik dan peningkatan obesitas makin meningkat pada remaja termasuk mahasiswa. Mahasiswa kedokteran berperan penting sebagai role model penerapan gaya hidup sehat, sehingga perlu diketahui hubungan aktivitas fisik dengan indeks massa tubuh (IMT) pada Mahasiswa Program Studi Sarjana Kedokteran Dokter Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Brawijaya (PS SKed FKUB). Metode penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik dengan desain cross sectional. Total 295 mahasiswa menjadi subjek penelitian yang ditentukan secara purposive sampling hingga jumlah minimal sample terpenuhi. Tingkat aktivitias fisik ditentukan dengan menggunakan IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) dan IMT ditentukan secara tidak langsung melalui Kuisioner terstruktur yang diisi secara mandiri. Sebagian besar respoden memiliki tingkat aktivitas fisik sedang (42%) dan IMT normal (68%). Tidak di dapatkan hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat aktivitas fisik dengan IMT melalui analisis uji Chi square (p > 0,05). Perlu diteliti faktor-faktor lain yang berpengaruh terhadap IMT.

Background: Physical inactivity is prevalent among medical students, with inconsistent academic scores. Physical activity enhances cognition and performance and improves academic achievement. Objective: To determine how medical students’ physical activity and associated factors influence academic achievement. Methods: Using convenience sampling, this analytic cross-sectional study involved Dow International Medical College MBBS students of 1st year and 2nd year, to fill the International-Physical-Activity-Questionnaire-S7S. This estimated day-to-day physical activity/week, metabolic equivalent task (MET)-minutes/week, as physical-activity-scores. Annual examination percentage scores were used as academic achievement scores. Statistical significance was determined at p<0.05. Results: The response rate was 229/307 (74.6%). Median physical activity scores and academic achievement scores were 1188.00 MET-minutes/week and 59.28%. Males were more physically active (p=0.001) despite the female predominance of 54.15%, and 2nd-year students (n=113), had significantly higher academic achievement scores (p=0.001). Ethnicity, physical limitation, and smoking status had insignificant effects on academic achievement. There was no statistically-significant difference in physical-activity-scores and academic-achievement-scores as per different age-groups (p=0.933, ηp2=0.003 and, p=0.276, ηp2=0.011), and BMI-groups (p=0.218, ηp2=0.021 and (p=0.044, ηp2=0.039). There was a tendency for between-the-group variance (p=0.04) in the “normal-weight” and “obese” BMI groups. Physical-activity-scores and academic-achievement-scores showed no correlation (rs=0.035, p=0.597), and were independent of sitting hours/day (rs=0.043, p=0.558 and rs=0.039, p=0.603), sleep-hours/day (rs=0.077, p=0.223 and rs=0.001, p=0.984), and study hours/day (rs=0.040, p=0.556 and rs=0.091, p=0.181). Physical activity categories and academic achievement groups appeared independent of each other with no effect. (p=0.363, φc=0.097). Conclusion: Physical activity has no effect on academic achievement of undergraduate medical students. Male students were physically more active but there was no association of gender with academic achievement.
