Abstract: This study investigates the impact of an aerobic exercise program on the cardiovascular fitness of female plantation workers in Cisaat Village, West Java, Indonesia. With women's labor force participation significantly lower than men's and many workers experiencing physical fatigue, the need for structured physical exercise is apparent. A total of 15 women aged 30 to 56, with at least three years of experience in plantation work, participated in a 12-session aerobic program over four weeks, conducted three times weekly. The Rockport test measured their VO2 max before and after the intervention. Results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ cardiovascular fitness, with many progressing from the “poor” and “fair” categories to the “good” category. The average VO2 max increased from 29.8 to 34.2 ml/kg/min, demonstrating the effectiveness of the aerobic exercise regimen. This study highlights the importance of structured physical exercise for enhancing physical fitness and productivity among female workers in the plantation sector. Future research should explore the effect of age, work hours, and different intensities of aerobic training on physical fitness and work productivity among female plantation workers. Additionally, investigating the long-term adherence to fitness programs and their influence on musculoskeletal health would provide valuable insights.
