| Objective: To make up a personal prescription of walking and study the effect of walking on blood pressure and lipid metabolism in order to provide reference for establishing scientifically a hypertensive exercise prescription. Method: 104 essential hypertensive patients（27male and 77 female with the average age of 56.8+5.4）were selected as the subjects. Personal exercise programs were worked out and the exercise method of walking was adopted so as to observe the changes of blood pressure and lipid metabolism before and after the experiment. Result: (1) After 12-week walking exercise, the blood pressure (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and difference of pulse pressure) decreased significantly(P<0.001). (2) TG, TC, LDL-c and TC/LDL-c showed a trend of decrease, but no significant changes (P > 0.05). HDL-c rose significantly (P < 0.05). For those dyslipidemia patients before the exercise, LDL-c and TC/HDL-c decreased significantly after the experiment (P < 0.05). The proportion of the patients, whose TC, TG and HDL-c were heading toward normal, increased. Conclusion: The personal prescriptions of walking are feasible for hypertensive patients. And 12 weeks' walking can obviously improve blood pressure and lipid metabolism of hypertensive patients. |
