The intervention designed to reduce hypertension is Isometric Hangdrip Excercise, which functions to reduce cardiovascular reactivity to psychological factors, so that it can reduce systolic blood pressure by about 7 mmHg and diastolik by about 5 mmHg. Objectives of this study to analyze the effect of Isometric Handgrip Exercise on the reduction of blood pressure in hypertensive patients at the Kebomas Health Center. Method: The design of this study is Pre Experimental Design. This type of research is a quantitative research with the One Group Pretest – Posttest approach. The population in this study is 227 people with hypertension in the Kebomas Health Center area aged 46 – 65 years.
