The Research On The Effects Of Diabolo Exercise Intervention On Elderly Primary Hypertensive Patients

Hypertension is a serious public health problem as well as the most common cardiovascular diseases. It can bring about heart failure and kidney failure. At the same time, it is the major risk factor which causes cerebrovascular disorder, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and other severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Some research showed that kinesitherapy is the most promising and potential non-drug therapy for high blood pressure. However, A complete study of the personalized exercise prescription for elderly patients with mild hypertension is presently lacking. In this experiment, we select subjects, give them medical examination and evaluate their physical condition, then make individualized exercise prescription for them. So that we can gain a further insight into the influence of exercise on the physical functions of elderly patients who have mild hypertension. and apply the results of this research to the sporting of the elderly hypertensive patients.Through literature study and questionnaire survey, after checkup and analyzing the data, according to hypertension diagnostic standard, 40 subjects, aging between 61 and 65, with mild hypertension(140/90mmHg≤BP≤159/99mmHg) and who never took hypertensive drug were selected. of which 25 was in experiential group,15 was in control group, personalized exercise prescription is made for experimental group: Diablo intervention for 12 weeks and the outcome will be analyzed. While Control group maintain their way of life. All the subjects don't take hypertensive drug during the experiment.In the exercise prescription, diabolo juggling is used as exercise intervention, exercise intensity is 40～60%F.C.,time: 40-60 mins, every week 3 times, exercise intensity is adjusted according to subjects'heart rate and RPE(rating of perceived exertion). Subjects'physical fitness, body composition and cardiac function and so forth are tested or measured before and after the experiment.The outcome shows that subjects'blood pressure decreased significantly: systolic pressure decreased by average of 21.1mmHg and diastolic pressure 11mmHg. There are significant differences by statistical analysi(sP<0.01). As is shown, there are significant changes in body composition and blood lipid index. Cardiac function and physical fitness are also markedly improved. In contrast, the control group showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Results of the study above can lead to following conclusions:1.Diabolo exercise notably decreases blood pressure of elderly patients with mild primary hypertension;2.Diabolo exercise remarkably affects blood lipid level of Hyperlipaemia patients;3.Diabolo exercise effectively improves cardiac function and physical fitness, enhances athletic ability, so that subjects can better response and adapt to kinesthetic stimulus.Diabolo is suitable for chronic elderly patients and those who have a weak constitution. As the study indicates, diabolo exercise considerably influence subjects'blood pressure, heart rate and other physiological and biochemical indexes, and is applicable as an adjuvant therapy for mild primary hypertension and can avoid its complications.
