Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has made changes in the process of social life, including sports activities. Individuals become limited in carrying out activities so that they often choose not to do physical activities. Individual inactivity causes various internal problems, such as fatigue and mental problems. The author creates an exercise that aims to overcome this problem by manipulating the intensity in it, namely COVID-19 gymnastics. This study aims to test the COVID-19 exercise with low and high intensity on increasing aerobic capacity and mental toughness in different sex of adult people. The experimental method for 6 weeks was carried out in this study to 150 subjects (65 men and 85 women) by professional gymnastics experts. The Walk Test and Mental Toughness Inventory were used as research instruments which were given twice before and after being given treatment. MANOVA test with SPSS version 24 was used as the data analysis of this study. The results showed that COVID-19 exercise with high and low intensity affected increasing aerobic capacity and mental toughness in adult men and women. However, there is a difference in the effect of high-intensity and low-intensity COVID-19 exercise on increasing aerobic capacity and mental toughness in adult men and women. This study concluded that COVID-19 exercise with high intensity and low intensity both had a positive effect on increasing aerobic capacity and mental toughness in adult men and women. However, low-intensity COVID-19 exercise has a better effect than high-intensity because it is considered safer for adults. The author suggests doing fun sports activities such as COVID-19 gymnastics to stay healthy physiologically and psychologically, especially during this pandemic.
