ABSTRACT

Many elderly people experience high blood pressure, if not treated properly it can cause complications. One non-pharmacological method that can be done for the elderly is hypertension exercise. However, there are still many elderly people who do not know the benefits of exercise. This community service activity is to train hypertension exercises to reduce blood pressure in elderly people who suffer from hypertension. Participants in community service were 32 elderly people at Posyandu Lansia Akar Nusa Benowo Surabaya. The activities carried out were counseling about hypertension and training in hypertension exercises. The success of the activity was measured based on blood pressure measurements before and after the exercise was given after 4 consecutive hypertension exercises. Data were analyzed using the Paired T-test statistical test. The results of the service activities showed that the pre-test systolic blood pressure had an average of 148.34 with an SD of 14.178. Meanwhile, post-test systolic blood pressure had an average of 138.91 with an SD of 12,444. The pre-test diastolic blood pressure had a mean of 87.00 with SD 4,690, and post-test diastolic blood pressure had a mean of 83.16 with SD 5,490. The results of the Paired T-test statistical test obtained a p value = 0.000, which means that hypertension exercise can reduce blood pressure in the elderly. It is hoped that elderly people will regularly participate in a hypertension exercise program to maintain internal pressure in optimal conditions
