Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of premature death worldwide. Hypertension is defined as a persistent increase in blood pressure, where systolic pressure exceeds 140 mmHg and diastolic pressure exceeds 90 mmHg. One of the therapies that can be used to lower blood pressure is Tera gymnastics, which is specifically designed for the elderly and individuals with hypertension. This therapy involves regular, structured, and planned movements that are slower and more harmonious compared to other types of gymnastics, reducing the risk of injury and promoting overall fitness in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Tera gymnastics on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, involving 17 respondents from the Babakan Sari Community Health Center, RW 09. Instruments used in this study included a digital sphygmomanometer, a stethoscope, and observation sheets. Results: The results of the t-test analysis showed a significant effect of Tera gymnastics on blood pressure reduction, with a p-value of 0.000 ( 0.05) for both systolic and diastolic pressures. The average blood pressure before the intervention was 140/179 mmHg, while the average blood pressure after the intervention was 132/157 mmHg. The movements in Tera gymnastics improve blood circulation, making it a suitable alternative therapy for individuals with hypertension. Conclusion: Tera gymnastics has a significant influence on reducing blood pressure in elderly individuals with hypertension at UPT Babakan Sari RW 09, Bandung City. It is suggested that community health cadres continue implementing Tera gymnastics as an alternative treatment for hypertension. Additionally, it is recommended to perform Tera gymnastics three times a week to maintain blood pressure stability in elderly individuals with hypertension.

Abstract

Hypertension is a condition when blood pressure is at 140/90 mmHg or more. Every year people with hypertension continue increased, it is estimated that in 2025 as many as 1.5 billion people suffer from hypertension... One way to reduce blood pressure is to do ergonomic exercises. The purpose of this study is to find out ergonomic exercises for decreasing blood pressure on elderly hypertension at Ciparay Elderly Social Rehabilitation Institution. This research used quasi Experiment design by designing a pre and post test group. The population of this study was hypertensive elderly totaling 70 people, The sampling technique uses non probability sampling with the technique purposive sampling, its about 23 respondent. Data collection using questionnaires, observation sheets, and digital sphygmomanometer. The number of respondents was 23 respondents, ergonomic exercises done 3 times repeatedly - according to 3 weeks. Pressure measurement blood is done before gymnastics (pre test) and after 30 minutes after gymnastics (post test). Statistical test results show the average systole pressure before gymnastics is equaldari to160.15 mmHg to and the remaining gymnastics 140.05 mmHg, a decrease of 20.1 mmHg. Diastolic pressure before gymnastics isfrom 96.28 mmHg and as is gymnastics to 86.11 mmHg, a decrease of 10.17 mmHg. Data analysis using Paired Sample T-Test related to ergonomic exercises for impairment blood pressure in hypertensive elderly with systole pressure p value = 0,000 and diastolic pressure p = 0,000.The conclusion Can be accessed the effect of ergonomic exercises on reducing blood pressure in elderly hypertension. The results of ergonomic exercise intervention can be used as a therapy in pressure reduction blood and it is expected that the elderly are routinely approved for ergonomic exercises.
