Abstract:OBJECTIVE To investigate the curative effect of impedance training combined with aerobic exercise on elderly patients with hypertension. METHODS 136 elderly hypertensive patients aged 60~73 years were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 68 cases in each group. On the premise of routine medication treatment, the control group was given aerobic exercise intervention, while the observation group was given impedance training combined with aerobic exercise intervention. The intervening time of the two groups was 6 months. Before and after intervention, blood pressure and control, blood lipid and quality of life were evaluated respectively, x2and t test were used. Blood pressure and control, blood lipid and quality of life were compared between these two groups. RESULTS Before intervention, there was no significant difference in age, course of disease, BMI, blood pressure and control, blood lipid and quality of life between these two groups (P>0.05); after intervention, TG, TC, SBP and DBP in the observation group decreased significantly compared with the control group (P<0.05), HDL-C, HDL-C/LDL-C increased significantly (P<0.05); the excellent rate and control rate of blood pressure control in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). The total scores of psychological function, social function and quality of life in the observation group were significantly improved compared with the control group(P<0.05); blood pressure and blood lipids in these two groups were significantly controlled to a certain extent(P< 0.05), and the total scores of psychological function, social function and quality of life were also significantly improved(P<0.05). CONCLUSION On the basis of drug therapy, aerobic exercise and impedance training combined with aerobic exercise intervention could help control blood, while the resistance training had more significant effect, which was worthy of popularization and application.
