- Abstract
Background: Increased age is one factor causing the occurrence of hypertension, this is due to the increasing age of organ function decreased marked by decreased elasticity of the arteries and stiffness occurs blood vessels so vulnerable to an increase in blood pressure. This ergonomic gymnastics is a physical activity that can to smooth blood circulation and increase pulse and can burn fat. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of ergonomic exercise in lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension after intervention. The effectiveness of the intervention can be known by looking at the results of pre-test and post-test blood pressure of hypertensive patients. Material and Methods: The type of research is quasi experimental with nonequivalent control group design. Sample in this research is patient of hypertension stage one that is 33 people. Data analysis was performed by using Wilcoxon test with a = 0.05. Results. The result of this study showed that ergonomic gymnastics experiments group one times a week p -value on systolic blood pressure was 0.317>0.05, p-value diastolic 0.216>0.05, ergonomic gymnastics group two times a week p -value on systolic blood pressure was 0.043<0.05 p-value diastolic 0.078>0.05, ergonomic gymnastic group three times a week systolic blood pressure was 0.043<0.05 p-value diastolic 0.144>0.05. Data analysis was performed using Kruskal Wallis test explains that pre post-test systolic blood pressure after ergonomic exercise in the experimental group 1, 2 and 3 times a week p-value 0.019 <0.05 means that there is a systolic blood pressure difference before ergonomic exercise, whereas diastolic pre post-test after ergonomic exercises p-value 0.465> 0.005 means there is no difference in diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion. The conclusion of the research results is the intervention with two time ergonomic gymnastics in a week more effective for lowering blood pressure in people with hypertension. It is therefore advisable for patients with hypertension stage 1 to always perform physical activities such as ergonomic exercise and check blood pressure to health workers on a regular basis so that blood pressure can be controlled.
