Background. Fasting, training, and competition are particularly interesting to athletes who fast during Ramadhan. Physiologically, can he/she adapt while fasting and exercising? Objectives. This study aims to prove physiological adaptation as seen from pulse rate indicators. Methods. This study used an experimental method where the sample was given treatment. The sampling technique uses voluntary sampling to obtain a sample of 13 students. Pulse measurements were taken before bed and waking up on training and non-training days. Data were analyzed with the help of SPSS version 26. Results. These findings suggest a decrease in pulse rate after waking up compared to before bedtime. In the second group, the overall significance value was p>0.05, indicating no significant difference between the groups, whether the exercise was given or not. In the third group, the overall significance value was also p>0.05, meaning that there was no significant difference between men and women in terms of pulse rate before sleep, pulse rate when waking up, and changes in pulse rate. Conclusion. Fasting does not hinder the ability to perform exercise. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
