Abstract The development of exercise movements based on the everyday movements of women rubber farmers and their bodily discomforts is examined in this qualitative study. It is specifically tailored to enhance the physical fitness and well-being of female farmers in the agricultural region of Naga, located in the province of Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. The muscles affected by the common movements of rubber tapping, which result in body pains and complaints, are investigated. It is found that the common movements of rubber farming are as follows: Unang Palagsik, Sanggot, Buhi-Sanggot, and Manawat. The results were collected and biomechanically analyzed with the help of a licensed physical therapist. It was concluded that the body parts mostly affected by rubber farming are the back, legs, neck, and arms. Exercise movements in the form of images and instructions were then formulated and assigned to each common movement, serving as the final output of this research study. The physical health and occupational well-being of women rubber farmers are expected to improve based on the study's findings, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices and community development initiatives.
