EFEK SENAM AEROBIK LOW IMPACT TERHADAP NILAI TEKANAN DARAH PENDERITA HIPERTENSI

Abstract

Introduction: Based on the World Health Organization, an increase of 80% of people with hypertension will occur in 2025, especially in developing countries, from 630 million cases in 2000 to 1.15 billion in 2025. Hypertension is a major factor in the occurrence of stroke, heart failure that causes death. if not handled properly. doing aerobic exercise can reduce systolic and diastolic pressure in patients with hypertension, with aerobic exercise it can provide a relaxing effect on blood vessels. Objective: This study aims to determine the Aerobic Low Impact exercise activity on reducing blood pressure values ​​in hypertension sufferers in Gonilan Village, Kartasura, Sukoharjo. Methods: This type of research is experimental with a one group pre-test-post-test design, blood pressure checks using a sphygmomanometer brand Omron HEM-8712 and an observation sheet to record the results of blood pressure checks, both before and before treatment. The study was conducted 9 times, with a duration of 20 minutes of exercise. Results: It can be seen that in respondents with high blood pressure who received low impact aerobic exercise therapy, there was a change in the value of blood pressure after an examination after low impact aerobic exercise. the systolic blood pressure obtained p value <0.001 and diastolic blood pressure 0.286. Conclusion: Based on the results of research related to the effect of aerobic exercise on blood pressure in patients with hypertension, it was found that there was an effect on both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. So that low impact aerobic exercise can be recommended as a modified therapy to help control blood pressure.
