Abstract

Objective: This study was carried out to find the difference in haemodynamic responses of different balance training exercise in hypertensive elderly adults. Methods: Elderly adults between the age of 60-80 years (n=80) with controlled hypertension allocated into two groups. Group 1 underwent specific balance training and group 2 general balance training exercises for a single session. They were measured for systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate and rate pressure product before the exercise, immediately after the exercise and 5 minutes after the exercise. The hemodynamic responses were compared between the groups for difference. Results: The study showed a significant difference in all haemodynamic parameters such as blood pressure, heart rate and rate pressure product immediately except diastolic blood pressure and after 5 minutes of exercise between the groups. Conclusion: The general balance exercise is safe in terms of hemodynamic changes in elderly hypertensives.

Keywords: hypertension, elderly adults, balance exercises.
