Samples were randomly divided into two groups, the control group and the aerobic exercise group. The control group did not do the exercise. The aerobic group exercised by running for 30 minutes (64-76% of maximal heart rate), three time per week for four weeks. Cognitive function was measured using stroop task test. The results showed that there was a significant increase in cognitive function in the aerobic exercise group (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in cognitive function between the aerobic exercise group and the control group (p<0.05). In conclusion, aerobic exercise over four weeks can increase cognitive function in sedentary young adults without cognitive impairment.

Data were collected using a questionnaire adopted from the Outcome Measure Toolkit for Geriatric Fall/Balance Assessment, administered before and after the fall risk and prevention webinar. The results showed that the average age of participants was 60.71 years with a standard deviation of 9.99. The majority were women, reflecting the higher prevalence of falls among women due to physiological differences. Health parameters such as maximum systolic 192 mmHg, and maximum diastolic blood pressure 130 mmHg and maximum blood glucose 371 mg/dL levels were analyzed showing a significant data influence on the risk of falls. The pre-webinar questionnaire indicated a general lack of knowledge about fall risks and prevention. Post-webinar analysis which was carried out twice and then processed using the Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in understanding the risk of falls, with the average score increasing from 2.27 ± 0.97 to 4.27 ± 0.96 (P = 0.000). This shows that educational webinars can effectively increase older people's knowledge about the risk of falls and prevention strategies. These findings are in line with previous research highlighting the importance of continuing health education in reducing the incidence of falls and improving the quality of life of older adults.
