The Role of Nutritional Status in Improving Physical Endurance in Athletes: A Literature Review
In the context of modern sports science, understanding the profound impact of nutritional status on athletic performance has become increasingly crucial. This study aims to review the existing literature regarding the role of nutritional status in increasing the physical endurance of athletes. Optimal nutritional status plays an important role in supporting athletic performance through mechanisms involving nutrient intake, energy metabolism, and post-workout recovery. Various studies show that malnutrition can result in decreased physical ability, increased risk of injury, and slow recovery. Conversely, adequate nutrition can improve muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, and metabolic efficiency. This article summarizes the key findings from various studies that highlight the importance of macro and micro nutrition, hydration, and proper diet planning in supporting athletes\u27 physical endurance. The conclusion of this review underscores that nutritional strategies tailored to the individual needs of athletes are essential to achieve optimal performance and minimize the risk of injury. More research is needed to explore the complex interactions between various nutritional factors and physical fitness components.
Chemical and Physical Quality Biscuits Substitution Pumpkin and Leaves Katuk
Dependence on wheat flour is very high, so food diversification efforts must be made to reduce this dependence. Biscuits are a product made from wheat flour as the main ingredient, and they have the potential to be developed using pumpkin and Katuk leaves. This study aims to determine the chemical and physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin, and Katuk leaves. This research was an experimental study with a completely randomized design (CRD), consisting of 3 treatments and one standard treatment, with three repetitions of each treatment, so there were 12 treatment units. Chemical quality includes energy, carbohydrate content, protein, fat, Fe, calcium, vitamin C, β- carotene, and vitamin A. Physical quality is assessed using diameter, thickness, and spread ratio). Data were analyzed using One Way Anova and Krusskal Tests Wallis. The results on the chemical quality of biscuits show a significant effect of substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves on protein, calcium, zinc, Fe, β- carotene, and vitamin C levels in biscuits. However, fat and carbohydrate levels decreased for energy as the substitution of pumpkin and Katuk leaves increased. The physical quality of biscuits substituted for pumpkin and Katuk leaves shows that the diameter and thickness decrease as the percentage of substitutes for pumpkin and Katuk leaves increases. This situation causes the spread ratio (spread) to increase. This research concludes that substituting pumpkin and Katuk leaves in biscuits significantly affects the chemical and physical quality of the biscuits
The Relationship between Antenatal Care Quality and Pregnancy Outcomes: Systematic Literature Review
This study investigates the correlation between the quality of prenatal care and pregnancy outcomes through a comprehensive literature review. The systematic literature review aims to elucidate the relationship between prenatal care quality and pregnancy outcomes while identifying key factors influencing care quality. Relevant studies were identified through an extensive search of databases, including Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and PubMed, using specific keywords related to antenatal care quality, serum levels, and pregnancy outcomes. Articles published within the last ten years were screened based on inclusion criteria, resulting in 12 original studies selected for detailed analysis. The findings reveal a statistically significant correlation between prenatal care quality and pregnancy outcomes. Inadequate prenatal care was associated with a higher risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, and complications during delivery. Socioeconomic factors such as income level, education, and access to healthcare services were identified as critical determinants of prenatal care quality. This study highlights the urgent need to enhance the accessibility, continuity, and quality of prenatal care to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity, particularly in resource-limited settings. Policy implications suggest the necessity of targeted interventions to address disparities in prenatal care, including improving healthcare infrastructure, training healthcare providers, and implementing community-based programs. In conclusion, the study underscores the pivotal role of high-quality antenatal care in ensuring favorable pregnancy outcomes. Tackling socioeconomic barriers and enhancing service delivery are crucial to reducing adverse outcomes and promoting maternal and child health. The findings call for policy reforms to strengthen antenatal care services, especially in underserved regions, to achieve better health outcomes for mothers and infants

Side Effect, Husband Support and Level of Knowledge on the Incidence of Contraceptive Acceptors Dropout
Family planning program is an effort made by the Indonesian government to decrease the birth rate and control the population. The succuss of family planning program in decreasing the birth rate is influenced by several factors, including the incidence of dropout (DO) regarding the use of contraceptive methods. The high contraceptive acceptors DO rate indicates a problem regarding the use of contraceptive methods. DO cases in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province, increased from 1.1% in 2018 to 9.1% in 2021. Therefore, it is necessary to study the factors that cause the increase in the incidence of Contraceptive Acceptors DO. This study aims to determine the factors related to the incidence of Contraceptive Acceptors DO in East Penfui Village, the work area of Tarus Community Health Center, Kupang Regency. This was an analytical survey study with cross-sectional approach. The population involved was family planning acceptors in the village from March to October 2020, as many as 163 acceptors. The samples of 69 acceptors were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test. The results revealed that there were three factors which influenced the incidence of contraceptive acceptors DO, namely maternal level of knowledge (p=0.006, husband support for his wife (p=0.003), and side effects regarding contraceptive methods (p=0.014). It can be concluded that a personal approach was needed. Counseling on the side effects of contraception and door to door education can be solutions to be performed by CHC officers as well as existing health cadres.

Qualitative Study and Antioxidant Activity Herbal Tea Bag of Moringa Leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam.) and Red Ginger (Zingiber officinale var. Rubrum)
Moringa (MO) leaves contain several chemical substances of high value, including vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, tannins, and triterpenoids, among which one functions as an antioxidant. Previous research observed that MO leaves have already been developed into various formulations; unfortunately, these formulas could not completely obscure the aroma and taste problems that rendered MO leaves less acceptable to consumers. In this research, Moringa leaf powder (MLP) and red ginger (RG) are combined to cover the unpleasant taste and aroma of MO leaves. The purpose of this study assess the quality of three tea bag formulations, including their water content, ash content, hedonic and antioxidant activities, by quantitative tests; F0 (3 Gr of MLP), F1 (2.25 Gr of MLP, and 0.75 Gr of RG), and F2 (the amount of MLP and RG is equal to 1.5 Gr). This experimental study employs a completely randomized design, three special treatments, and three repetitions. Statistical analysis of quality test results and antioxidant activity uses One-Way ANOVA followed by a post hoc test utilizing the Least Significant Difference (LSD). The water content tests revealed that all three formulations qualified the Indonesian National Standard (SNI), ranging from 3.86% to 4.29%. Adding ginger did not influence the water content (p > 0.05). Otherwise, it increases the ash level from 8.65% to 9.98%. Based on the results of the hedonic test, the panelists preferred F0 over F1 and F2 concerning color by a score of 86%. In contrast, they preferred F2 regarding aroma and taste by a score of 82%. The addition of RG in F1 and F2 was significant to the preference level of panelists (\u27p <0.05). The IC50 value for the antioxidant activity test was highest for F2 at 59.31 ± 0.13 ppm. The addition of RG boosted the antioxidant activity of MO tea products considerably (sig <0.05). Consequently, developing MO tea products containing RG in F2 could be potentially produced as herbal tea beverages with antioxidant properties.
