Abstract
Background: Short-term memory in the elderly will gradually decrease due to aging. Short-term memory impairment in the elderly will cause a reduced ability to store and repeat temporary information that has just been given. Short-term memory improvement can be done by providing aerobic low impact exercise. Based on observations made at the Dahlia Senja community, Limo Depok Village, it was found that the majority of elderly people experienced a decrease in memory and had never received aerobic low impact exercise interventions for memory or short-term memory. Research Methods: This research method uses pre-experimental with a one group pre-post test design. Sampling using purposive sampling method and obtained 12 samples. Short-term memory measurement using digit span test before intervention and after intervention for 4 weeks with a frequency of 2 times a week. Results: The results showed that the average short term memory before intervention was 6.17 and after intervention 7.67, and obtained a p-value of 0.042. Conclusion: There is an effect of aerobic low impact exercise on the short-term memory of the elderly in the Dahlia Senja community, Limo Depok Village.
