Female adolescents who have experienced menstruation are at high risk of anemia, especially iron nutritional
anemia. Efforts made by the Government in overcoming anemia in adolescent girls are by providing Blood
Plus Tablets, but based on data from the Ministry of Health in 2017, the percentage of Fe (iron) tablets
obtained by adolescent girls is still very low, namely 13.8%, so it is not yet fulfilling. the national target
is 30%, so there needs to be another strategy to overcome anemia in adolescent girls. Reproductive health
exercise is one of the physical activities that can be an alternative for adolescent girls who experience
anemia because it can increase hemoglobin production. This study analyzed the hemoglobin levels of
adolescent girls after being given reproductive health exercises. The results showed that Kespro exercise
had an effect on hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls with a p value <? (0.05) where the hemoglobin level
before being given treatment in the intervention group was the average hemoglobin level of 10.1 gr/dL and
the hemoglobin level after treatment. That is, the average hemoglobin level is 13 gr/dL. The hemoglobin
level before being given the treatment in the control group was an average hemoglobin level of 9.8 gr/dL
and the hemoglobin level after being given the treatment was an average hemoglobin level of 12.2 g/dL.
