Exercise Intervention Program for Hypertension
Objective
The paper aims at evaluating whether a six-month exercise program can help reduce
hypertensive crisis among Hispanic patients aged between 45 and 55 years.
Introduction
Hypertension is a major cause of high mortality rate and a key determinant of other
deadly conditions across the globe. According to the World Health Organization (2020), 1.13
billion people globally suffer from hypertension. Among this population, only 25% have the
problem under control while the remaining 75% struggle with hypertension-related conditions.
There is a distinct variation of hypertension across genders, with 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women
suffering from the disease. Arguably, the prevalence of hypertension continues to increase
annually because the public lacks knowledge concerning the best practices to help control the
disease. The World Health Organization (2020) recommends individuals to reduce risk factors,
such as physical inactivity and unhealthy diets, in their lifestyles to avoid developing the
condition. Even though scholars accept that physical activity is an effective strategy of
controlling high blood pressure, there exists insufficient information concerning the dose of
exercise regimen that can help patients recover from the disease. Hence, an important question in
the treatment of hypertension is how much physical activity should patients engage in to mitigate
the effects of the disease in their lives.
Problem Identification and Population
Indeed, medication is a key determinant of positive treatment outcomes among
hypertensive patients. Howard et al. (2015) conducted a study on individuals from the age of 45
and above to compare the relationship between stroke events and hypertension medication. The

researchers found that the risk of stroke events increased among hypertensive patients who took
more classes of antihypertensive medication. Similarly, they identified an increase in stroke risk
among those not on antihypertensive medication. These findings show that even though
medication is successful in treating high blood pressure, the approach does not eliminate the
disease and its harmful effects. This is because most patients fail to control the disease earlier in
life, a condition that leads to vascular damage. Due to the negative treatment outcomes
associated with the use of medication to treat hypertension, there is a need for alternative
approaches to help patients control the condition. Regular physical activity is a lifestyle
intervention that could help patients achieve better treatmen...
