Sports or physical exercise is an integral part of efforts to improve health and fitness status. A person with low physical activity has a higher risk of various health problems. In addition to playing a role in promotive and preventive efforts, exercise is also crucial in therapy and rehabilitation programs for multiple types of health disorders. The planned and structured exercise involves repetitive body movements to improve physical fitness.

Efforts to improve the quality of education must be sustainable. For this reason, the Directorate General of Teachers and Education Personnel of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia held an Academic Selection Test for Teacher Professional Education in Position. This program selects teachers with a bachelor's degree qualification for the Educator Certificate.

The four factors consist of behavioral or lifestyle factors, environmental factors (social, economic, political, cultural), health service factors (type of coverage and quality), and genetic factors.

The rubber tree is one of the crucial plants in Indonesia which is widely found in Sumatra. Indonesia is the largest rubber-producing country globally, contributing 26% of the world's total natural rubber production. In addition to producing latex as the main ingredient for making tires, rubber trees also absorb exhaust gases and have much more optimal oxygen. This plant also absorbs carbon dioxide gas which is processed into a carbon source for photosynthesis. This natural process is beneficial in reducing the greenhouse effect such as global warming and environmental damage.
