description: 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.
