Abstract
Hypertension is a disease that can cause dangerous complications such as heart failure, kidney failure, coronary heart disease, stroke and brain damage. During the World Health Organization (WHO) period (2015-2020), approximately 1.13 billion people worldwide were diagnosed with hypertension. Objective: The aim of this research is to determine the effect of Brisk Walking Exercise on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Methods: This research method uses quantitative research with a pre-experimental design with a one group pretest and posttest design. Sampling was taken by total sampling with a sample of 20 respondents. Data analysis uses univariate and bivariate. The analysis technique uses the Normality Test and the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: The results of the pretest frequency distribution before the Brisk Walking Exercise were carried out were obtained by 13 respondents (65%) with Stage 1 (Mild Hypertension) and the results of the posttest after the Brisk Walking Exercise were carried out were obtained by 12 respondents (60%) with the Normal category Below 130/ 85 mmHg. The results of the normality test with Shapiro Wilk showed Sig. (Significant) namely 0.001 during the pretest and 0.000 during the posttest, the distribution is not normal because the p-value <0,005. Based on the results of hypothesis testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, it was found that p-value = 0,000, which means p value ≤ 0,005, so Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. Conclusion: there is an influence of Brisk Walking Exercise on blood pressure in hypertensive patients. This research suggests that respondents can use the Brisk Walking Exercise as additional information to add information about alternative non-pharmacological therapies that can be done independently at home to reduce blood pressure in hypertension sufferers.
