Effect of Morning Workout (MWO) On Anthropometric among Urban Older Adults

Abstract

Introduction: Health and wellness of older adults were essential in due with ageing process occurred and injuries cause mortality increased rate every single year. Objectives: To investigate the consistency and persistency of Morning Work Out (MWO) by urban older adults towards their health and wellness descriptively. Methodology: Cross sectional design with respondents attended MWO for a long year whereby managed to figure out overall respondents’ anthropometry (psycho-motor, psychological and physiological). Self-recorded without diet control. Maximum training heart rate was 70%. concerned. Samples: 13 aged 50’s and 65’s voluntarily involved and observed from 2024 to 2025. Parameters attempted: Anthropometric: Blood Pressure (BP), Body Weight, SpO2, Sleeping Pattern, Awaken Rate, Body temperature, and Core Strength (Lean Squad, Plank and Bridge) were performed by all respondents. Results: After 12 months of MWO, the overall weight was back to 79.2Kg from 78.8Kg. However, the MWO showed that Walks came about 71% by respondents; Heart Rate range of 71bpm to 90bpm after MWO was 75%; Stretching daily about 68% performed routinely; Mode of very good mood about 63.5%, Good mood about 31% and So-So mode about 3%. Hence, Lean squad about 54% and Plank making 51.2% and Bridging was about 52% performed by all throughout year. These outcomes showed respondents’ sleeping pattern resulted at deep sleep rate 20.7% and with the average of mean score 27% deep sleep which equals to 7.2% overall and this was from the range of sleeping hours 6 hours 31 minutes to 5 hours and 31 minutes which was out of expectation. Moreover, awaken times showed 42% was non awaked throughout the sleeping hours. BP showed Excellence Level about 21%, Normal Level was 59%, Normal Systolic (34%) and High Blood Pressure grade one only 0.62% respectively. Body temperature was in the average range of 36 Celsius to 36.9 Celsius with 79% and lastly the SpO2 reading around 98 with 68% along year time. Conclusion Consistency and persistency of all older adults in performing this MWO for duration of 12 months would gain effect as expected apparently. Adversely, feeling easy and happy all the time. House work became fast and clear with very fresh and happy feel. Walk faster and much faster without heavy feelings. Contribution: Practices and maintenance one’s health and wellness status in applied psychological, anatomy and physiological perspectives. Recommendation: MWO programme as older adults’ choice of practice as far as Health and Wellness, the body of knowledge concerned.
