Promoting Health Awareness, FMIPA UGM Regularly Holds Exercise and Health Check-ups

Exercise at FMIPA UGM

FMIPA UGM routinely conducts exercise and health services to promote health awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at the FMIPA UGM Building’s courtyard on Friday, Feb 23rd, 2024. The agenda is held every last Friday of each month through Posbindu PTM (Pos Pembinaan Terpadu Penyakit Tidak Menular/Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Counseling Post). The agenda starts with morning exercise followed by health check-ups.

“This activity aims to increase awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at FMIPA UGM. We don’t want them to be healthy when they enter here but become ill when they leave,” said Dr. Chotimah, M.Si., the health officer at FMIPA UGM.

The participants’ enthusiasm is evident from the long queues waiting for their turn in health check-ups. The checks conducted include body mass index, blood pressure, glucose levels, uric acid, and cholesterol. One employee expressed surprise upon learning about the cholesterol levels in their body.

“I was quite surprised to know the cholesterol level in my body. Is it because I’ve recently consumed a lot of seafood?” said Shafa, one of the employees at FMIPA UGM.

Exercise and health check-up activities can potentially increase awareness of non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure and obesity, thus representing a tangible manifestation of SDGs point 3 in the field of Healthy and Prosperous Life. Additionally, these activities contribute to ensuring health services for the campus community to engage in the prevention or early detection of risky diseases. The hope is that this activity will continue to promote health awareness in the FMIPA UGM environment, thereby creating a healthy campus condition.

Cyclists heading towards YIA airport

The PESEGI (Pesepeda Setu Legi) community of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Gadjah Mada University continues to advocate for a healthy lifestyle through cycling, this time traversing the Kulon Progo region on Feb 24th, 2024. The cycling route starts from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM and concludes at Yogyakarta International Airport in Wates, Kulon Progo. The event was attended by faculty members and staff from the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM, but it was open to the general public.

During the cycling route, there were designated stopping points for rest and breakfast. This cycling activity, besides promoting a healthy lifestyle, aims to accommodate cyclists who want to engage collectively in supporting environmental sustainability.

“This activity is carried out every Sabtu Legi (a day based on the Javanese calendar) as a manifestation of our support for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” said Dr. Winarto Haryadi, M.Si., the Chairman of the PESEGI Community at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at UGM.

Cycling activities have the potential to reduce obesity rates in the community, making it a tangible representation of SDGs Goal 3 in the field of Good Health and Well-being. Furthermore, this cycling culture also contributes to improving the air quality index due to the high usage of oil-fueled vehicles, thus reflecting SDGs point 11, which is Sustainable Cities and Communities. The hope is that more individuals will join in advocating for activities that have a positive impact on health and the environment.

Preparations for departure to the finish line
