COVID-19 is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 causes human respiratory infections that start with a cold and end with serious illnesses such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) or Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or Servera: Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). As people get older, their abilities decrease. This decline makes older individuals more vulnerable to diseases, including COVID-19. Quality of life refers to subjective judgments that are built into the cultural, social and environmental context of the respondent. Quality of life provides the resulting effects of disease and its interventions, rather than detailed measures of disease or symptoms. Elderly gymnastics is a series of gymnastic movements designed for the elderly, both those who have been accustomed to exercising since they were young and those who are sedentary. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of elderly fitness exercises during the COVID-19 pandemic on elderly women in Bungas Hamlet. The research was conducted using a quantitative experimental approach with a group of pre-test and post-test design. The sample of this study is the elderly who are in Bungas Hamlet, Kadirejo Village, Pabelan District, Semarang Regency with a population of 35 people. The results of the t test for the physical health domain get a significance value of 0.00. The results of the psychology domain t test get a significance value of 0.00. The results of the social relations domain t test get a significance value of 0.00. The results of the t test for the environmental domain get a significance value of 0.00. From these results it was concluded that exercise for the elderly had a significant effect on the quality of life of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
