Abstract

The present study conducted to examine the effect of aerobic dance exercise as
therapeutic exercise on blood pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting
blood glucose and body weight among adult female hypertensive patients. Crossover
study design was used for this study. Meanwhile, mixed-design ANOVA
statistic was used to describe a comparison of four major components between two
groups and two periods of time. A total of 40 adult female hypertensive patients
(n=40) from the resident areas at Felda Lok Heng at Kota Tinggi, Johor with aged
52.9 ± 8.34 years old were took part in this study. Intervention group (n=20) was
subjected to carry out the effectiveness of aerobic dance to reduce high blood
pressure, high blood glucose and ·body weight in 6-week intervention with three
times a week, while control group (n=20) was asked to continue their normal daily
lifestyle as usual. Assessment for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood
glucose and body weight were done before and after 6-week. Result shown the
scores for systolic blood pressure (p<0.05), diastolic blood pressure (p=0.05), fasting
blood glucose (p<0.05) and body weight (p<0.05) between both groups at the end of
the study period.
