Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to determine the decrease in Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) for obese hypertensive patients through physical activity of elderly gymnastics. This research method is an experimental method with a Pretest-posttest control group design. A sample of 40 patients with hypertension at Anur Sinjai clinic was obtained using a purposive sampling technique with criteria for older adults aged 50-70 years. The sample was divided into two groups that were obese and non-obese, each consisting of 20 people. Obesity is known through the calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI), and MAP is obtained using the Motzer & Bridges formula (MAP = (S+2D)/3). MAP measurements were carried out before (pretest) and after (posttest) given physical activity for each group in the form of elderly exercise for 12 meetings. The data analysis technique used the t-test to determine the difference in the mean of the two samples. The results showed that elderly gymnastics had a significant effect on decreasing MAP both in the obese group (t-count = 7.080; sig = 0.000) and in the non-obese group (t-count = 4.087; sig = 0.000). In addition, there was a significant difference in the effect of MAP on the obese group and the non-obese group (t-count = 4.34; sig = 0.000) with a mean difference of 6.15 mmHg. This study concludes that there is a decrease in MAP in hypertensive patients after being given elderly exercise, both obese and non-obese. The decrease in MAP was faster in the non-obese group. Keywords: MAP; physical activity; hypertensive
