Abstract

Abstract: Hypertension is one of the degenerative diseases commonly found in Indoensia. It is characterized by an increase of blood pressure above its normal level and is caused by various factors.

There were 25 respondents in this study obtained by using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed with the paired t-test.The results showed that there were significant differences between before and after two-times-per-week Prolanis exercise in systolic blood pressure ( p = 0,003 < α =0,001) and in diastolic blood pressure ( p = 0,002 < α =0,001). There were significant differences before and after three- times-per-week Prolanis exercise in systolic blood pressure (p = 0,000 < α = 0,01) and in diastolic blood pressure (p = 0,000
