Summary
This study tested a new exercise program called SI Kumbang gymnastics in 66 healthy women aged 60-70. Participants did the exercises three times a week for three months. Researchers measured their heart and lung fitness, muscle strength, balance, physical activity, and immune markers. The goal was to see if SI Kumbang gymnastics works better than a standard elderly exercise program.
