Hipertensi merupakan keadaan ketika tekanan darah sistolik 140 mmHg dan/atau
tekanan darah diastolik 90 mmHg. Hipertensi menjadi salah satu penyakit tidak
menular yang banyak dialami oleh lansia dan berisiko menyebabkan komplikasi
seperti stroke, penyakit jantung, dan gagal ginjal apabila tidak dikendalikan. Salah
satu upaya non-farmakologis yang dapat dilakukan untuk membantu menurunkan
tekanan darah adalah jalan cepat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui
pengaruh jalan cepat terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada penderita hipertensi
di Posyandu Lansia Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin Kota Jambi. Penelitian ini
merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain pre-eksperimental menggunakan
rancangan One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan
teknik purposive sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 15 responden.
Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan MeiJuli 2026. Analisis data dalam penelitian
menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan menggunakan uji paired t test.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Mean Pretest Sistole adalah 159.29 mmHg
(Sd 13.714), mean pretest diastole 96.79 mmHg (Sd 10.401) Sedangkan Mean
Posttest Sistole adalah 131.57 mmHg (Sd 11.541), mean posttest diastole 82.57
mmHg (Sd 6.430). Dengan demikian uji paired t test diperoleh hasil statistic
didapatkan sistole nilai p= 0,000 dan diastole nilai p=0,000 (p

Hypertension is a condition where systolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to
140 mmHg and or diastolic blood pressure is greater than or equal to 90 mmHg.
Hypertension has become one of the non-communicable diseases frequently
experienced by the elderly and carries the risk of causing complications such as stroke,
heart disease, and kidney failure if uncontrolled. One non pharmacological effort that
can be undertaken to help lower blood pressure is brisk walking exercise. The objective
of this study was to determine the effect of brisk walking exercise on reducing blood
pressure in hypertensive patients at Elderly Posyandu in Simpang IV Sipin Public
Health Center Jambi City. This study was quantitative research with a pre-experimental
design using a one group pretest posttest design. Sampling was conducted using a
purposive sampling technique with a total of 15 respondents. The study was carried out
from May to July 2026. Data analysis was conducted univariately and bivariately using
the paired t test. The results showed that the mean pretest systolic blood pressure was
159.29 mmHg with a standard deviation of 13.714, the mean pretest diastolic blood
pressure was 96.79 mmHg with a standard deviation of 10.401, while the mean posttest
systolic blood pressure was 131.57 mmHg with a standard deviation of 11.541, and the
mean posttest diastolic blood pressure was 82.57 mmHg with a standard deviation of
6.430. Accordingly, the paired t test analysis yielded a statistical result for systolic p
value of 0.000 and diastolic p value of 0.000, where p is less than alpha, indicating a
significant effect on blood pressure reduction among elderly hypertensive patients who
received the therapy. Thus, it can be concluded that brisk walking exercise significantly
affects blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Public Health Centers are expected to
implement brisk walking exercise as a non-pharmacological therapy, while future
researchers are encouraged to utilize larger sample sizes and control groups.
