Abstract

Muscle cramps are a condition that often occurs in students, especially during sports. This happens because of a lack of warm-up before exercise. Students do not understand and know about how to handle muscle cramps. This community service activity aims to increase students' knowledge and abilities in handling muscle cramps through health education. This community service activity is carried out on students with health education and virtual student empowerment with the media zoom meeting. The target of this activity is 25 high school students. This community service activity was carried out through several stages, namely giving questionnaires, empowering students, education about handling muscle cramps and evaluating by giving questionnaires after giving the material. The result of this community service activity was an increase in students' knowledge and ability in handling muscle cramps in students from before education to 64% in the less category and after education to 80% in the good category. This is because in addition to being given education, students are also given videos so that it is easier to receive information.
