ABSTRACT Hypertension is a degenerative disease that is often found in the community and often appears without symptoms.Based on WHO (World Healt Organization) data,it is known that hypertension sufferers increased from 839 million people in 2018 to 940 million people in 2018 to 940 million people 2019. Management of hypertension can be done pharmacologically and non- pharmacologically. Hypertension Gymnastics is one of the non-pharmacological therapies that can be given to hypertensive patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hypertension exercise on blood pressure control in the elderly with hypertension in the working area of the Kumun Public Health Center.This study uses a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test-post- test design approach. The population in this study was 159 people with hypertension in the community health center. The sample in this study was 16 respondents. Data was collected by measuring blood pressure before and after being given the hypertension exercise intervention using a sphygmomanometer clock.The results showed that before the hypertension exercise intervention was given, almost all 16 respondents had high blood pressure. After being given the hypertension exercise intervention, most of the blood pressure was normal. From the statistical test, it was obtained that the Systolic P Value was 0.000, and the Diastolic P Value was 0.001, so there was an effect of hypertension exercise on blood pressure control in the elderly with hypertension in the work area of the Kumun Public Health Center.Based on research, changes in blood pressure are influenced by the movements in hypertension exercise, so this exercise is effectively used as therapy for hypertension patients.
