“Effects Of Physical Activity Interventions On Blood Pressure Control In Hypertensive Patients”
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to establish the effects that exercise interventions have on hypertension in the target population of men and women 40 to 65 years of age. The research targeted 30 people (16 male and 14 female) in an urban hospital within India. In the study after the physical activity intervention a reduction was noted in both “SBP” and “DBP”. SBP variance after the intervention stood between 136/150; DBP which was highest before the intervention dropped to 86. The greatest decreases in SBP were observed in 7 patients with a decrease by 13 mmHg, 6 patients with a decrease by 12 mmHg and 5 patients with decrease by 15 mmHg. Regarding DBP, 10 of the patients had a decrease of 8 mmHg while 11 patients demonstrated a decrease of 7 mmHg. These outcomes corroborate the prior studies reporting the negative association between “physical activity” and “blood pressure” levels. Thus, the place of the study is in advocating for exercise as a non-pharmacological approach towards hypertension control with specific focus on the elderly population. However, studies are limited in that they are based on relatively small and mostly white samples in which precise descriptions of the interventions are lacking.
