Hypertension is a condition that is often experienced by the elderly. By increasing age resulting in increased blood pressure, the arterial wall in the elderly will experience thickening which results in the accumulation of collagen in the muscle layer. So that the blood vessels will gradually narrow and become stiff . To avoid or reduce the risk of collagen and atherosclerosis accumulation which is one of the causes of hypertension, regular exercise is needed. Elderly gymnastics is a series of regular and directed and planned tones of movement that are followed by the elderly in the form of physical exercises that affect the physical abilities of the elderly which will help the body stay fit and stay fresh. It keeps bones strong and helps eliminate free radicals wandering in the body and can flex blood vessels. This research is a kind of quasi-experimental research with a pre and post test without control design. This research was conducted in Darussalam, Aceh Besar. Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, a statistical test used by Non-parametric. To see blood pressure before and after elderly exercise using the t-test. After doing elderly gymnastics for six times in 2 weeks, there are differences in the value of blood pressure in the elderly before and after elderly gymnastics with a p-value of 0.000. Thus, it is expected that elderly gymnastics can be used as an alternative nursing action in handling hypertension, especially in the elderly. Abstrak Hipertensi merupakan suatau keadaan yang sering dialami oleh lansia, dengan bertambahnya umur mengakibatkan tekanan darah meningkat, karena dinding arteri pada usia lanjut (lansia) akan mengalami penebalan yang mengakibatkan penumpukan zat kolagen pada lapisan otot, sehingga pembuluh darah akan berangsur-angsur menyempit dan menjadi kaku. Untuk menghindari atau menurunkan resiko penumpukan zat kolagen dan aterosklerosis yang merupakan salah satu penyebab hipertensi, maka diperlukan olahraga yang teratur. Senam lansia merupakan serangkaian gerak nada yang teratur dan terarah serta terencana yang diikuti oleh orang lanjut usia dalam bentuk latihan fisik yang berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan fisik lansia, yang akan membantu tubuh agar tetap bugar dan tetap segar karena melatih tulang tetap kuat dan membantu menghilangkan radikal bebas yang berkeliaran dalam tubuh  serta dapat melenturkan pembuluh darah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan rancangan pre and post test without control. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kecamatan Darussalam Kabupaten Aceh Besar terhadap lansia yang mengalami hipertensi. Tekanan darah di ukur dengan menggunakan spigmomanometer, uji statistik yang digunakan Non-parametrik. Untuk melihat tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia menggunakan Uji t-test. Setelah dilakukan senam lansia selama enam (6) kali dalam waktu 2 (dua) minggu pada lansia yang mengalami hipertensi, secara umum terdapat perbedaan tekanan darah pada lansia sebelum dan sesudah senam lansia dengan p-value 0,000, dengan demikian diharapkan senam lansia ini dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif tindakan keperawatan dalam penanganan hipertensi terutama pada lansia.

ABSTRACTBackground : Joint flexibility decreases in old age due to a degenerative process resulting in changes in joints, connective tissue and cartilage in the elderly. Decreasing flexibility is also due to reduced elasticity of muscle fibers, where connective tissue in muscle fibers increases (Mariyam, 2008).Objective : The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of active exercise (ROM) on the lower extremities on increasing the flexibility of the knee joint in the elderlyMethods : This study using a quasi-experimental approach with One group pre-test and post-test design. The sampling technique uses the Slovin method of 42 people, obtained a sample of 25 elderly. Exercise is done twice a day for 8 days. Measurements were made on day 1, day 4 and day 8 of the study using a Goniometer measuring instrument..Result : The results of measurement I average of the right knee joint 117.52o, measurement II = 122.24, measurement III = 126, 36o. From the analysis with Paired simple t-Test between the measurements I and II, it was found that the different test measurements I and II t count value was equal to -1.908 with 0.068. Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is accepted, meaning that the average angle of ROM before and after training is the same (not different). In the different test measurements II and III the value of t count is equal to -2.152 with sig 0.042.Conclusion : Because sig 0.05, it can be concluded that Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a difference in ROM angle after training between days 4 to 8 with the first day to day 4. Thus it can be stated that active ROM exercises affect the angle of ROM of the knee joint elderly after exercise ROM between day 4 to day 8. Keywords: active ROM exercise, flexibility of knee joint, elderly.
