Diabetes melitus tipe 2 merupakan penyakit metabolik kronis yang ditandai dengan peningkatan kadar gula darah akibat gangguan sekresi dan kerja insulin, serta banyak terjadi pada kelompok usia lanjut. Pengendalian kadar gula darah tidak hanya dilakukan melalui terapi farmakologis, tetapi juga dapat dilakukan melalui latihan fisik terprogram seperti latihan aerobik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan aerobik terhadap penurunan kadar gula darah pada penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2 usia 50–60 tahun di Puskesmas Blang Bintang Aceh Besar. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan desain one group pretest–posttest. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 20 orang penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2 yang mengikuti program latihan aerobik berupa Senam Jantung Sehat Seri 2 dan Senam Kreasi Aerobik dengan variasi gerakan yang disesuaikan dengan kemampuan usia lanjut selama 16 pertemuan. Data diperoleh melalui pengukuran kadar gula darah sebelum (pre-test) dan sesudah (post-test) perlakuan, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji t. Hasil analisis deskriptif menunjukkan rata-rata kadar gula darah pre-test sebesar 215,1 mg/dl dan post-test sebesar 181,7 mg/dl dengan penurunan rata-rata sebesar 33,4 mg/dl. Hasil uji t menunjukkan nilai t hitung = 9,46 lebih besar dari t tabel = 2,093 pada taraf signifikansi α = 0,05 (df = 19), sehingga terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa latihan aerobik berupa Senam Jantung Sehat dan Senam Kreasi Aerobik berpengaruh signifikan dalam menurunkan kadar gula darah pada penderita diabetes melitus tipe 2 usia 50–60 tahun dan dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif terapi nonfarmakologis dalam pengelolaan diabetes melitus tipe 2.

Muhammad Zaki Murtaja. (2025). The Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Reducing Blood Sugar Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients Aged 50-60 Years at the Blang Bintang Community Health Center, Aceh Besar Thesis, Physical Education, Health and Recreation Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Syiah Kuala University. Under the guidance of Dr. Drs. Sukardi Putra, M.Kes. and Dr. Yeni Marliana, S.Pd., M.Pd. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance, and it commonly occurs in older adults. Blood glucose control can be achieved not only through pharmacological therapy but also through structured physical exercise such as aerobic training. This study aimed to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 50–60 years at Blang Bintang Public Health Center, Aceh Besar. This research employed an experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of 20 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who participated in an aerobic exercise program, including Cardiac Healthy Gymnastics Series 2 and Creative Aerobic Exercise adjusted to elderly capabilities, conducted for 16 sessions. Data were collected through blood glucose measurements before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention and analyzed using a t-test. The descriptive analysis showed that the mean pre-test blood glucose level was 215.1 mg/dl, while the mean post-test level was 181.7 mg/dl, with an average decrease of 33.4 mg/dl. The t-test results revealed that the calculated t-value (9.46) was greater than the t-table value (2.093) at a significance level of α = 0.05 (df = 19), indicating a significant effect. Therefore, it can be concluded that aerobic exercise, including Cardiac Healthy Gymnastics and Creative Aerobic Exercise, has a significant effect in reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 50–60 years and can be used as an effective non-pharmacological therapy in diabetes management.
