The Effectiveness of Passion Fruit Juice Consumption as Pain Reliever for Bruise Trauma in Pencak Silat Athletes
Abstract: Pencak Silat is a
martial art that has a risk of causing micro-trauma due to physical impact.
This trauma will stimulate the secretion of prostaglandin, a compound in the
body which is a mediator of pain and inflammatory response that promote pain in
bruised trauma. Passion fruit contains high level of anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant substances. The objective of this study was to understand the effectiveness
of passion fruit juice consumption in reducing bruised trauma pain in Pencak
Silat athletes of PSHT Belotan Magetan. The research design is a quantitative
descriptive with quasi-experimental. The pretest and posttest group of 20
people PSHT Belotan Magetan Pencak Silat athletes with an average age of 13.4
0.94 years were divided into treatment group (K1) and control group (K0) with
10 subjects respectively. Each treatment group (K1) subject was given the juice
twice a day for 10 consecutive days. We used paired sample T-test to assess the
mean variance of the group. The result showed that there was a decrease of pain
intensity in both the treatment group and the control group. The pain intensity
difference assessed by a Bourbonnais Rating Scale in the treatment group showed
a significant difference with the t value of 7,216 and a probability value of
0,000, while the control group showed t value of 3,000 and probability value of
0,015. There was a decrease in the athletes muscle soreness who were given
passion fruit juice twice a day for 10 days. The athletes pain intensity was in
middle category.
