ABSTRACT
Hypertension is not a contagious disease which became a worldwide health problem.
The cases of hypertension increases with age which is characterized by an increase
in systolic blood pressure 140 mmHg and diastolic 90 mmHg. Nonpharmacological management is used to lower blood pressure with low impact
aerobics exercises and foot massage. The purpose of the study was to determine
differences in the effectiveness of low impact aerobic exercises and foot massage to
changes in blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients. This study used a quasiexperimental design using a nonequivalent control group. The sample of this study
are 30 people who were taken by purposive sampling technique. Paired Sample TTest result showed that there were differences in changes in systolic blood pressure
before and after was 17.13 mmHg and 8.86 mmHg for diastolic. There were
differences in changes in systolic blood pressure before and after the foot massage
was 6.86 mmHg and 3.93 mmHg for diastolic. Based on the test results of the
Independent Samples T-Test showed a significant difference between low impact
aerobics exercises and foot massage to changes in blood pressure in elderly
hypertensive patients (p = 0.000; = 0.05). low impact aerobics exercises and foot
massage can be used as an alternative to lower blood pressure in elderly
hypertensive patients.

ABSTRAK
Hipertensi merupakan penyakit tidak menular yang menjadi masalah kesehatan di
seluruh dunia. Kasus hipertensi meningkat seiring bertambahnya usia yang ditandai
dengan peningkatan tekanan darah sistolik 140 mmHg dan diastolik 90 mmHg.
Manajemen nonfarmakologi yang digunakan untuk menurunkan tekanan darah
antara lain dengan senam aerobic low impact dan foot massage. Tujuan penelitian
adalah mengetahui perbedaan efektifitas senam aerobic low impact dan foot massage
terhadap perubahan tekanan darah pada lansia penderita hipertensi. Penelitian ini
menggunakan quasy-experimental dengan menggunakan desain non equivalent
control group. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 30 orang dengan teknik Purposive Sampling.
Hasil uji Paired Sample T-Test menunjukkan ada perbedaan perubahan tekanan darah
sistolik sebelum dan setelah senam aerobic low impact yaitu 17,13 mmHg dan
diastolik sebesar 8,86 mmHg. Ada perbedaan perubahan tekanan darah sistolik
sebelum dan setelah foot massage yaitu 6,86 mmHg dan diastolik sebesar 3,93
mmHg. Berdasarkan hasil uji Independen Sampel T-Test didapatkan ada perbedaan
yang signifikan antara senam aerobic low impact dan foot massage terhadap
perubahan tekanan darah pada lansia penderita hipertensi (p=0,001; =0,05). Senam
aerobic low impact dan foot massage dapat dijadikan sebagai alternatif pada lansia
penderita hipertensi untuk menurunkan tekanan darah.
