Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension can be controlled with pharmacological and nonpharmacological efforts. Exercising is a non-pharmacological management. Exercises that
elderly people with hypertension can do is ergonomic exercises whose series of movements
are resembles prayer movements. This exercise lowers blood pressure by stimulating blood
vessel function and lowering blood pressure in individuals with high blood pressure. The
aim of this study was to determine the effect of Ergonomic Exercise on reducing blood
pressure in elderly people with hypertension. Methods: This research design is pre-test
and post-test with control-group. The sampling technique used purposive sampling
technique with a total of 29 respondents divided into two groups: Ergonomic Exercise
group and Control group. The intervention was carried out 2x 60 minutes/week for 4 weeks.
Blood pressure data were analyzed using the wilcoxon signed ranks test and mann-whitney
u-test with α (0.05). Results: This decrease shows the effect of Ergonomic Exercise on
blood pressure as evidenced by the results of the wilcoxon signed ranks test, which obtained
a systolic p value of 0.001 and a diastolic p value of 0.002 (p<0.05). And the results of the
mann-whitney u-test obtained a systolic p value of 0.033 and a diastolic p value of <0.001
(p<0.05). So it can be concluded that "Ha" is accepted which proves that there is a
significant influence of Ergonomic Exercise on reducing blood pressure in elderly people
with hypertension. Discussion: Ergonomic exercise can lower blood pressure by
stimulating the work of peripheral nerves, especially parasympathetic nerves, which causes
vasodilation of blood vessels so that blood pressure falls and is more controlled.
