Year 1973
In cooperation with Litbang Akabri Udara (R&D dept. of Air Force) and School of Medicine of Gajah Mada University in Yogyakarta, we do research to compare the physical fitness result from Merpati Putih's exercise with the aerobic method of DR. Cooper.
Objects :
- 20 cadets are trained with DR. Cooper's method.
- 20 cadets are trained with Merpati Putih's method.
Methods of valuation :
- DR. Cooper's valuation : to evaluate aerobics capacity i.e. respiration
system and cardiovascular.
- Aerobics dan Margarics : to evaluate the ability
of muscles to work anerobics.
- To measure Timed Vital Capacity to determine the
flexibility of lungs' tissues.
Conclusion :
1. Cadets which are trained with Merpati Putih methods can match with
cadets trained with DR. Cooper's method.
2. Time needed to run 1,600 meter and Timed Vital Capacity between two groups are not different.
3. From this observation, it can be concluded that Merpati Putih's method has no bad effect on our health and also can match with other scientific methods.
4. The advantage of Merpati Putih exercises is to generate inner power that can be applied to many aspects.
This research is lead by Prof. DR. Achmad Muhammad from School
of Medicine of Gajah Mada University.
Year 1983,
In cooperation with Pusat Jasmani Militer Komando Pengembangan Pendidikan dan Latihan TNI AD (Army center of body training and development), we did research about Merpati Putih breathing techniques in connection with endurance and conduit of power.
Objects :
Army troops which are trained with Merpati Putih method for a
year.
Conclusion :
1.Merpati Putih improves Army physical performance, therefore it should
be socialized in other military groups.
2. MP's methods are economic, efficient, effective, and low cost.
Year 1984,
In cooperation with Pertamina Hospital in Jakarta, we do research about the benefit of Merpati Putih to improve alertness physically or mentally.
Objects :
- 5 women between 25 - 35 years old.
- 19 men between 29 - 42 years old
Conclusion :
1. All Physiologic functions show improvements, except for reaction
time and critical blink frequency .
2. Merpati Putih exercises can increase the strength of muscles, improve
MBC ( Maximum Breathing Capacity), VC (Vital Capacity) and FEV (Forced
Exhalation Velocity).
Year 1985,
In cooperation with Infantry Battalion 203/Arya Kamuning.
Objects :
All troops in Infantry Battalion 203/Arya Kamuning
are trained with Merpati Putih method for 5 months, three times a
week, 90 minutes each.
Conclusion :
1. The physical fitness is increase ;
2. Personal skill is also improved. It's proved in 1985 in National
Battalion Contest in which Infantry Battalion 203 is the first winner and
can make new record.
Year 1987
In cooperation with Yayasan Jantung Sehat (Healty Heart Foundation) and Harapan Kita Heart Hospital in Jakarta. The research is led by Dr. Dede Kuswara
Objects :
- 2 Basic II students, up to 60 years old
- 2 Converse I student, between 40 - 55 years old
- 2 Converse II students, between 30 - 40 years old
Conclusion :
1. Improvement in physical fitness
2. Increase physical recovery.
Year 1990 - up to now
In cooperation Medical School of Indonesia University and ISTN in Jakarta,
we do research about explosive power of Merpati Putih.
