Abstract

Hypertension in the elderly is a major health problem in Indonesia due to its increasing prevalence with age and the high risk of cardiovascular complications. Non-pharmacological approaches, such as structured physical activity, are essential as complementary therapy alongside medical treatment. This study aimed to analyze changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension following a cardiac exercise program in To'lada Village, North Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of 20 hypertensive elderly individuals selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. The intervention was a cardiac exercise program conducted over 16 sessions, with a frequency of 2–3 times per week and a duration of 30–45 minutes per session. Blood pressure was measured using an aneroid sphygmomanometer and stethoscope before and after the intervention. The results showed that the mean systolic blood pressure decreased from 155.95 mmHg to 110.60 mmHg (a reduction of 45.35 mmHg), while the mean diastolic blood pressure decreased from 115.55 mmHg to 91.45 mmHg (a reduction of 24.10 mmHg). In conclusion, the cardiac exercise program was effective in reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension.
