Objectives:
The
treatment of arterial hypertension requires a comprehensive care because it is
necessary not only to take the prescribed medication but also to apply certain
rules of hygiene. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a
program of physical activity adapted to the morphological and physiological
state of the hypertensive patients.
Methods: An experimental study was
conducted on a sample of 31 male hypertensive patients with an average age of
58.16 ± 3.7 years undergoing an aerobic and anaerobic physical activity program
treadmill walking, cycling, ergonomics and aerobic exercise and muscle building
exercises of moderate intensity, duration of forty-five minutes and a frequency
of three times a week associated with low calorie nutrition education low in
cholesterol and saturated fatty acids (bad fats) , low sodium rich in
vegetables, fruits and vitamins for 4 months at the University Clinics of
Kinshasa between January 2017and May 2017.
Results: After 4 months of
intervention, we found statistically significant reductions in weight -7.2 kg,
waist circumference -7.61 cm, body mass index -5.42 kg/m2, visceral
fat percentage -1.4%, systolic blood pressure -6 mmHg, low-density lipoprotein
-22 mg/dL, triglyceride -26.7 mg/dL with the exception of high-density
lipoprotein and muscle that statistically increased +7.42 mg/dL and +15.3%
while diastolic blood pressure -3.4 mmHg was not statistically modified.
Conclusion: The practice of adapted physical activities combined with
nutritional education improves the morphological and physiological status of
hypertensive patients.
