Description
Summary:Objetive. To evaluate physical activity as a measure of control of arterial hypertension in adults older than 30 years who perform an exercise routine in a period of time and compare these to establish whether or not there is a control of their pressure, from the Municipality of San Agustín Metzquititlán, Hidalgo, Mexico. Material and methods. Descriptive observational epidemiological study in 100 people over 30 years of age, 43 men and 57 women before and after their exercise routine in the municipality of San Agustín Metzquititlán, Hidalgo, Mexico. Results. 94% of the population reported that physical activity helps them maintain control over blood pressure, and thereby prevent the progression of symptoms that hypertension expresses, although the changes were not significant with a value of P> .05. Conclusion. Physical activity is effective as a non-pharmacological treatment in the reduction of arterial hypertension; however, obesity and toxic- food habits attenuate the improvement of the patients' health, not to modify these, it is negative. For anything positive exercise if no significant changes in these.
