Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effects of Chair Aerobic with Plong Exercise training on blood pressure and cardiovascular function, health-related physical fitness and body composition in hypertensive elderly.
Methods: Thirty Four stage-I hypertensive elderly aged 60–75 years were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=17, Male=5: Female=12) and Chair Aerobic with Plong training group (CSG; n=17, Male=2, Female=15). Participants in CON group had normal daily living activities and did not receive any exercises or treatments. Those in CSG group received chair aerobic with plong training three times a week for 12 weeks. Parameters for blood pressure, cardiovascular functions, health-related physical fitness and body composition were collected at baseline and at the end of 12 weeks. Then, all variables were analyzed with independent t-test and paired t-test with a significant level at p less than 0.05.
Results: The results indicated that after 12 weeks, CSG group had significantly decreased in blood pressures, improved cardiovascular function, higher health-related physical fitness and improved body compositions when compared to CON group (p<.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, the present findings from our study demonstrated that 12 weeks of Chair Aerobic with Plong training Group improved blood pressure, cardiovascular functions, health-related physical fitness, body composition in hypertensive elderly.
