Abstract

Hypertension is a significant health issue in the elderly, as it elevates the likelihood of cardiovascular complications. Management efforts are not only limited to pharmacological therapy but also include non-pharmacological interventions such as hypertension exercise. This study aimed to assess how hypertension exercise influences blood pressure reduction in older adults at Padukuhan Kalipetir Lor. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest format was implemented in this study. The sample consisted of 18 respondents selected via total sampling. Blood pressure levels were recorded before and after the intervention and evaluated using the paired t-test. The findings revealed that the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 157.17 mmHg to 155.28 mmHg; however, the change was not statistically significant (p = 0.427). In contrast, the mean diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 92.39 mmHg to 89.22 mmHg (p = 0.010). The study’s outcomes highlight that engaging in hypertension-specific exercise can substantially lower diastolic blood pressure among older adults and can be recommended as a non-pharmacological intervention for hypertension management if performed regularly and continuously
