The Effect of Exercise Training on Exercise Behaviour and Quality Of Life in Hypertensive Individuals

Abstract

Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of a 12-week exercise training programme on exercise-related behaviours, including exercise habits and exercise adherence, and quality of life in people with hypertension. Material and Method: The study included 113 participants, divided into a hypertensive group (n=68) and a normotensive group (n=45). Blood pressure and heart rate data were recorded, quality of life was assessed using the SF-36 scale, physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form, lower extremity muscle strength using the 30-second chair-stand test, exercise behaviour using the Exercise Behaviour Scale, and exercise barriers using the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. Assessments were made both before and after the exercise training programme. Results: In the hypertensive group, physical activity levels increased, blood pressure decreased, and there was a greater improvement in the stage of exercise change compared to the normotensive group (p<0.05). While total scores on the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale increased in both groups, with a greater increase in the hypertensive group, the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Quality of life improved in both groups, with a greater improvement in the hypertensive group, but only the changes in bodily pain (p=0.044) and general health (p=0.041) were statistically significant in the hypertensive group. Conclusion: Analysis of the data suggests that hypertensive individuals showed greater improvements in exercise adherence and physical activity levels. This improvement appears to have a positive impact on health profiles by contributing to improved quality of life. Keywords: Exercise, hypertension, quality of life.

Hipertansif Bireylerde Egzersiz Eğitiminin Bireylerin Egzersiz Davranışları ve Yaşam Kaliteleri Üzerindeki Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, hipertansiyonu olan bireylerde 12 haftalık bir egzersiz eğitim programının, egzersiz alışkanlıkları ve egzersiz rutinlerine uyum gibi egzersizle ilgili davranışlar ile yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemekti. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Hipertansif Grup (n=68) ve Normotansif Grup (n=45) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılan 113 katılımcı dahil edildi. Kan basıncı ve kalp hızı verileri kaydedildi. Yaşam kalitesi SF-36 ölçeği ile, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi-Kısa Formu ile, alt ekstremite kas gücü 30-Second Chair Stand Test ile, egzersiz davranışı Egzersiz Değişim Aşaması Ölçeği ile ve egzersiz bariyerleri Egzersiz ÖzEtkillik Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Değerlendirmeler hem egzersiz eğitiminden önce hem de egzersiz eğitiminden sonra yapıldı. Bulgular: Hipertansif grupta fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arttı, kan basıncı azaldı ve egzersiz değişim basamağında normotansif gruba göre daha fazla iyileşme oldu (p<0,05). Egzersiz Öz-Etkililik Ölçeği toplam puanları her iki grupta da artarken, Hipertansif grupta daha fazla artış oldu, ancak gruplar arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildi (p>0,05). Yaşam kalitesi her iki grupta da arttı, hipertansif bireylerde daha fazla iyileşme oldu; ancak Hipertansif grupta yalnızca Ağrı (p=0,044) ve Genel Sağlık (p=0,041) alt parametrelerindeki değişiklikler istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı. Sonuç: Verilerin analizi, hipertansif bireylerin egzersiz uyumunda ve fiziksel aktivite seviyelerinde daha fazla iyileşme olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu iyileştirme, yaşam kalitesinin artmasına katkıda bulunarak sağlık profillerini olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Egzersiz, hipertansiyon, yaşam kalitesi.
