Key result
Slow deep breathing lowers systolic blood pressure more effectively than isometric handgrip exercise in hypertension.
Why the study?
Non-pharmacological therapies such as Slow Deep Breathing Exercise and Isometric Handgrip Exercise are used for hypertension treatment, but their comparative effectiveness on blood pressure reduction is unclear.
Does Slow Deep Breathing Exercise reduce blood pressure more effectively than Isometric Handgrip Exercise in adults with hypertension?
Does Slow Deep Breathing Exercise reduce blood pressure more effectively than Isometric Handgrip Exercise in adults with hypertension?
Absolute Event Rate: 4.7895% vs 4.4211%
p-value: p=0.001
Slow deep breathing exercise is a more effective non-pharmacological intervention for reducing systolic blood pressure than isometric handgrip exercise in patients with hypertension.
May support preferring slow deep breathing for SBP reduction; hypothesis-generating and requires larger RCTs before practice change.
Hipertensi merupakan suatu kondisi di mana seseorang mengalami peningkatan tekanan darah di atas batasnormal, yaitu tekanan darah melebihi 140/90 mmHg pengobatan hipertensi dapat dilakukan melalui farmakologis dan non-farmakologis.Terapi non farmakologi yang bisa dilakukan Slow Deep Breathing Exercise (Sdbe) Dan Isometric Handgrip Exercise .Penelitian ini bertujuanuntukmengetahuiefektivitasSlowDeepBreathingExercise(Sdbe)Dan Isometric Handgrip Exercise terhadap penurunan tekanan darah tinggi pada penderita hipertensi. Jenis penelitian Quasi experimental Design dengan rancangan two-group pre-post test design. Populasi seluruh Penderita Hipertensi di Desa Tambelang, sebanyak 42 penderita hipertensi, penentuan sampel menggunakan tekhnik purposive sampling yang memenuhi kriteria sebanyak 38 responden. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah modul latihan Slow Deep Breathing Exercise (Sdbe) Dan Isometric Handgrip Exercise, Tensi meter, Alat Handgrib,dan lembar observasi. Selanjutnya dianalisis menggunakan uji t berpasangan (Paired t-test), dan Uji Independent t-test Hasilpenelitianmenunjukkannilaireratatekanandarahsebelumdilakukan terapi Slow Deep Breating Exercise didapatkan nilai rata-rata 168/99 mmHg dan nilai rata-rata tekanan darah sebelum diberikan terapi Isometric Hangrib Exercise 164/100 mmHg. Setelah diberikan terapi Slow Deep Breathing Exercisedi dapatkan nilai rata-rata 164/95 mmHg dan setelah diberikan terapi Isometric HangribExercisedidapatkannilairata-rata160/98mmHg.Diketahuinilairata-rata selisihpre-postsistoleterapislowdeepexercise 4,7895,dannilairata-rataselisih pre-post sistole terapi isometric handgrib exercise 4,4211 dengan pV 0001 yang artinya <0,05. Sedangkan nilai rata-rata selisih pre-post diastole pada terapi slow deep breathing exercise adalah -4,8947dan terapi isometric handgrib exercise terdapat nilai -3,3684denganpv 0,298 >0,05.

Sholeha et al. (2026) studied Hypertension (n=38). Slow Deep Breathing Exercise (SDBE) vs. Isometric Handgrip Exercise was evaluated on Mean pre-post difference in systolic blood pressure (p=0.001). Slow Deep Breathing Exercise was significantly more effective than Isometric Handgrip Exercise in reducing systolic blood pressure in patients with hypertension (p=0.001).
