The human body, comprising bones, joints, muscles, veins, blood, and nerves, necessitates daily lubrication through movement. Salat, a religious practice, offers potential benefits for strengthening the body, muscles, and joints. The objective of this study is to analyze the biomechanics involved in the movements performed during salat. This study employs a literature review methodology focusing on data sources, including Scopus, Science Direct, MEDLINE, pubmed.gov, and Google Scholar. The criteria for the feasibility of the literature used are literature that discusses the range of motion of joints, muscles, and bones during salat activities. The findings reveal that during salat, the trapezius muscles contract during bowing (ruku’) and prostration (sujud), while the erector spinal muscles relax in these positions. Despite exhibiting opposing activities during these movements, both muscles demonstrate similar activity during standing and sitting. Additionally, the lumbar muscles show alternating contraction and relaxation, preventing muscle fatigue during salat repetition. Linear wear resulting from salat activities was found to be lower than that from walking. Furthermore, salat activities promote relaxation, sustained focus, and a harmonious balance between the mind and body, reducing tension. In conclusion, salat entails muscle contractions, suggesting its potential recommendation as a form of physical exercise and rehabilitation therapy.

摘要

The human body, comprising bones, joints, muscles, veins, blood, and nerves, necessitates daily lubrication through movement. Salat, a religious practice, offers potential benefits for strengthening the body, muscles, and joints. The objective of this study is to analyze the biomechanics involved in the movements performed during salat. This study employs a literature review methodology focusing on data sources, including Scopus, Science Direct, MEDLINE, pubmed.gov, and Google Scholar. The criteria for the feasibility of the literature used are literature that discusses the range of motion of joints, muscles, and bones during salat activities. The findings reveal that during salat, the trapezius muscles contract during bowing (ruku’) and prostration (sujud), while the erector spinal muscles relax in these positions. Despite exhibiting opposing activities during these movements, both muscles demonstrate similar activity during standing and sitting. Additionally, the lumbar muscles show alternating contraction and relaxation, preventing muscle fatigue during salat repetition. Linear wear resulting from salat activities was found to be lower than that from walking. Furthermore, salat activities promote relaxation, sustained focus, and a harmonious balance between the mind and body, reducing tension. In conclusion, salat entails muscle contractions, suggesting its potential recommendation as a form of physical exercise and rehabilitation therapy.
