Abstract: (566 Views)
Background. The effects of yoga on older adults' blood pressure and physical fitness have been rarely considered in Vietnam.
Objectives. This study aims to evaluate the impact of yoga programs on Blood Pressure and Physical Performance of Older Adults with Stage 1 Hypertension.
Methods. Thirty female participants aged 60 to 74 (66.48±4.48) were recruited from Vinh City, Vietnam. A six-month Yoga program included pre-training, post-training, and follow-up. Participants attended a 60-minute yoga practice in three weekly sessions for 6 months. The outcome measurements are blood pressure and physical fitness. An adjustable cuff-sided sphygmomanometer is used for measuring blood pressure. A senior fitness test is used to measure physical fitness.
Results. BMI, waist, and blood pressure of older adults with stage 1 hypertension are significantly improved. The difference in BMI between the two phases is 0.47, p<0.001; Sequentially, waist is 3.25, p<0.001; pulse is 1.59, p<0.001; systolic blood pressure is 2.63, p<0.001; diastolic blood pressure is 2.25, p<0.001; Physical tests have also significantly improved. The difference of the chair stand test is -2.11, p<0.001; Sequentially, arm curl is -2.07, p<0.001; 2-minute step is -2.55, p<0.001; chair sit reach is -2.40, p<0.001; back scratch is -1.07, p<0.001; 8-foot up and go is 0.33, p=0.017.
Conclusion. Yoga can improve older adults' BMI, waist, blood pressure, and physical fitness.

APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
• It may be suggested that yoga training (60-minute yoga practice session, three times per week for 6 months), low and moderate intensity, should be implemented in larger populations who contract hypertension type 1 to reduce blood pressure and improve physical fitness.
• Yoga should be considered part of a holistic approach to hypertension management, alongside other lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, medication adherence, and regular medical check-ups.
• Yoga should be considered part of a holistic approach to hypertension management, alongside other lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, medication adherence, and regular medical check-ups.
