The results of this study indicate a significant difference in elderly gymnastics treatment to changes in systolic blood pressure (p value 0.02) and diastolic blood pressure (p value 0,000) in elderly hypertension in the work area of Rappokalling Health Center so it can be concluded there is influence of elderly exercise decrease in blood pressure in elderly hypertension and it is expected that elderly gymnastic exercises can routinely be non-pharmacological therapy in the provision of nursing care in elderly patients.
