Efektivitas aktivitas fisik pada lansia hipertensi yang obesitas

menggunakan uji-t untuk mengetahui perbedaan mean dua sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan aktivitas fisik senam lansia berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap penurunan tekanan darah lansia hipertensi yang obesitas (t hitung= 5,17; sig= 0,000), dengan nilai mean difference 7,45 mmHg. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah terjadi penurunan tekanan darah pada pasien hipertensi yang obesitas setelah diberikan senam lansia. This study aims to determine the decrease in blood pressure for obese hypertensive patients through physical activity of elderly gymnastics.

A sample of 33 patients with hypertension at Anur Sinjai clinic obtained by purposive sampling technique with criteria for the elderly aged 50-70 years. Obesity is known through the calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure of hypertensive patients is measured with a Riester brand tensiometer and auscultated with a stethoscope, the unit is mmHg. Blood pressure 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 physical activity in the elderly had a significant effect on reducing blood pressure in the obese elderly with hypertension (t-count = 5.17; sig = 0.000), with a mean difference of 7.45 mmHg. The conclusion in this study is that there is a decrease in blood pressure in obese hypertensive patients after being given elderly exercise.
