Abstract

One of the things that can affect blood pressure is a lack of physical activity. Ergonomic gymnastics is an exercise that easy to learn and understand. This paper analyzes the effect of ergonomic exercise on systolic blood pressure among individuals with hypertension in the Kaliasin family welfare empowerment. This research was a preexperimental study with a One-group pre-posttest design. The sampling technique utilized non-probability sampling with the purposive sampling technique. In addition, the population was 20 individuals with hypertension in Kaliasin family welfare empowerment. Fifteen people met the inclusion criteria – 45-55 years old and had stage I hypertension with 140-159 mmHg systolic. The independent variable was ergonomic gymnastics, while the dependent variable was systolic blood pressure. Ergonomic gymnastics were performed six times for two weeks with 25-30 minutes in each meeting. In addition, the instruments were ergonomic gymnastics manuals with an observation sheet and a sphygmomanometer. Data analysis utilized the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had 155-159 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (40%) before the ergonomic gymnastic. Meanwhile, after the intervention, they had 145-149 mmHg (33.3%) and 150-154 mmHg (33.3%). In addition, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test obtains ρ=0.001 (α≤ 0.05). Thus, there was a difference in systolic blood pressure before and after ergonomic gymnastics. Ergonomic gymnastics can decrease systolic blood pressure. Individuals with stage I hypertension should perform ergonomic gymnastics routinely to avoid the complication of hypertension.
