A complete list of exercise prescriptions for hypertensive patients

  Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease, with high prevalence and danger, which can cause coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, cerebral hemorrhage, hemiplegia, etc. It is an invisible killer that destroys the heart, brain, kidney and other important organs. At present, the country’s hypertension patients have more than 100 million people, more than 3 million new hypertension patients each year, in China more than 10 million patients with coronary heart disease, a history of hypertension up to 65%. The incidence of hypertension is so high, but people’s awareness of disease prevention is very indifferent, many patients can not adhere to medication and physical exercise, the disease is not ideal control, there is a low awareness rate, low medication rate, low control rate of the three low phenomenon.  The role of exercise on hypertension The World Hypertension League (WHL) points out that in the disposition of hypertension, physical exercise should be focused on and advocated. The WHL recommends that physicians promote physical activity in patients with hypertension and give patients detailed medical advice on exercise therapy.  A large number of studies at home and abroad have shown that hypertension is mainly treated with medication, and non-pharmacological treatment is only used as an adjunctive therapy. However, the side effects of drugs can affect the quality of life of patients. Excessive or insufficient reduction of DBP in hypertensive patients can lead to an increase in mortality and is thought to be related to the toxic effects of this medication. The results of the study showed that the use of walking, jogging and tai chi exercise, according to the patient’s condition developed the corresponding exercise prescription for treatment its efficacy is significant, the efficiency rate of 94.4%, the patient’s blood pressure decreased significantly (p<0.01), and make the patient's quality of life has improved, moderate amount of exercise helps the treatment of hypertension. Exercise can stabilize or decrease blood pressure, and the increase in blood pressure and heart rate during exercise is reduced, while exercise can increase the efficacy of medication in lowering blood pressure, and the dose of medication used is reduced.  The intensity of exercise is the determining factor in whether exercise leads to lower blood pressure. If you engage in endurance exercise of moderate intensity or less, you can generally reduce systolic blood pressure by 20 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by 16 mmHg. The blood pressure will also increase when the intensity is too high or when the fatigue is excessive. Similarly, regular strength-based exercises can lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension, but it should be noted that strength training can cause explosive increases in blood pressure. Therefore, when performing strength training, attention should be paid to the principle of low intensity and multiple repetitions, and one should not hold one's breath during the exercise to reduce the possibility of elevated blood pressure. In addition, exercise can cause adaptive changes in the caliber of blood vessels and reduce atherosclerosis. Exercise can also improve mood and reduce the magnitude of blood pressure fluctuations.  Specifically, exercise has the following effects on patients with hypertension: 1, adjust the excitation and inhibition process of the cerebral cortex, improve the neuroregulatory function of the main systems of the body 2, reduce the tension of capillaries, micro-arteries and small arteries, regulate blood circulation and reduce blood pressure 3, reduce blood viscosity and the compensatory function of blood circulation, improve microcirculation, enhance the oxidation reduction of material metabolism and the nutrient process in tissues 4, develop the body 5.Reduce stress reaction, stabilize emotion, inhibit physical and mental tension and eliminate anxiety. Exercise time: 60min each time Exercise frequency: three times a week for 20 weeks
