Higher exercise blood pressure represents low cardiorespiratory status of an individual and vice versa. Thechanges in systolic and diastolic blood pressure in response to rhythmic isotonic muscular exercise in sedentaryyoung normotensive Nepalese students were assessed. Normal blood pressure in standing posture in maleand female subjects are about 115 / 75 mm of Hg. and 106 / 71 mm of Hg. respectively. Just after the exercisesystolic blood pressure increases moderately in both the sexes, whereas diastolic blood pressure remainsunchanged in most of the females. Diastolic blood pressure is found to be decreased slightly in the males,just after exercise. The present study indicates the cardiorespiratory status of the Napalese medical studentsis within normal range.

We describe a clinical trial to study the efficacy of a casein hydrolysate, prepared using an Aspergillus oryzae protease, containing the major angiotensin-I-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) in a single-blind, placebo-controlled study. A total of 131 volunteers with high-normal blood pressure and mild hypertension were randomly divided into four groups (n 32 or 33 in each group). Each volunteer was given two tablets containing four different dosages of VPP and IPP (VPP+IPP: 0, 1·8, 2·5 and 3·6 mg), daily for 6 weeks. A significant decrease in systolic blood pressure was observed at 6 weeks in the active group receiving 1·8 mg (P<0·01) VPP and IPP; in the active groups receiving either 2·5 mg or 3·6 mg, systolic blood pressure was decreased at both 3 weeks (P<0·05 and P<0·05) and 6 weeks (P<0·001 and P<0·0001) compared with systolic blood pressure measured before treatment. Changes in the systolic blood pressure after 6 weeks of treatment in the four groups were −1·7, −6·3, −6·7 and −10·1 mmHg, and these effects were dose dependent. In addition, a significant difference in systolic blood pressure between the placebo group and the VPP and IPP group receiving 3·6 mg was observed (P<0·001) by two-way ANOVA. The antihypertensive effect was greater in mildly hypertensive subjects (n 20 or 21 in each group) than in any of the other subjects. No significant change of diastolic blood pressure was observed for all the test groups, and no differences in diastolic blood pressure in the test sample groups compared with the placebo group were observed during the test period.

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi hasil penelitian Ramdhani (2013) yang menunjukan adanya perubahan penurunan tekanan darah yaitu setelah dilakukan terapi tertawa selama dua minggu sebanyak enam kali pemberian. Maka peneliti merasa perlu dilakukan uji ulang pemberian terapi tertawa pada tekanan darah normal dengan satu kali pemberian. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis perbedaan tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah pemberian terapi tertawa pada mahasiswa di Universitas Advent Indonesia. Desain penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen yang menggunakan One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design dengan melibatkan satu kelompok subjek. Intervensi dalam penelitian yang dilakukan ini adalah pemberian terapi tertawa selama 20 menit. Subjek penelitian ini berjumlah 30 orang mahasiswi di Universitas Advent Indonesia. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa nilai rata-rata tekanan darah pada mahasiswi di Universitas Advent Indonesia sebelum pemberian terapi tertawa yaitu dengan nilai tekanan darah sistolik adalah  115.6 mmHg dan nilai tekanan darah diastolik 75.0 mmHg. Nilai rata-rata tekanan darah sistolik sesudah pemberian terapi tertawa adalah  110.8 mmHg dan tekanan darah diastolik 73.8  mmHg. Nilai tekanan darah sebelum dan sesudah pemberian terapi tertawa mempunyai nilai yang signifikan pada nilai uji-t pada tekanan sistolik. Tekanan diastolik tidak terjadi perubahan yang signifikan.   Kata kunci: Tekanan darah normal, Terapi tertawa   ABSTRACT This research is based on the writing of Ramdhani (2013) showing that there is a change in blood pressure after given six times laughter therapy for two weeks. Researchers find it necessary to repeat the laugh therapy on person with normal blood pressure with one provision. The purpose of this research is to identify changes in blood pressure before and after given laugh therapy. The research design used in this study is One Group Pre-Test and Post-Test Design experimental research that uses. Intervention conducted in this research is laughing therapy for 20 minutes. Subjects of this research were 30 students of Adventist University of Indonesia. That were by purposive sampling technique. The results of this research showed that the average value of blood pressure in students of Universitas Advent Indonesia before given laugh therapy with a systolic blood pressure value of 115.6 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure value of 75.0 mmHg. The average value of systolic blood pressure after the administration of laughter therapy was 110.8 mmHg and a diastolic blood pressure value of 73.8 mmHg. Systolic blood pressure values before and after administration of laughter therapy has a significant change but not with the diastolic. Keywords: Normal blood pressure value, Laugh therapy

1. Van Leersum's range for the normal blood pressure in the rabbit, as recorded by his method, is confirmed. 2. Van Leersum's conclusion concerning the influence of a liver diet on the blood pressure of the rabbit is not substantiated by his data, since the fluctuations of blood pressure he obtained do not surpass his own recorded figures for normal animals. 3. Fluctuations of systolic blood pressure beyond the "normal" range are not necessary for the production of experimental atherosclerosis of the aorta in rabbits. Inversely, egg yolk feeding experiments in rabbits in which atherosclerosis of varying degree, even extreme, is obtained, are not accompanied by an elevation of blood pressure outside the "normal" range. 4. The fluctuations of blood pressure observed during experimental atherosclerosis do not simulate the condition of essential hypertension in man.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pearl bath on basic parameters of the cardiovascular system in patients without hypertension Material and Methods: This study recruited 40 patients without hypertension (20 male and 20 female). All patients had their blood pressure and heart rate measured immediately before and during the procedure. Results: During the pearl bath HR increased by an average of 2.6 bpm (p=0,018355), and from the measurement before surgery by 5.5 bpm (p=0,000404). SBP decreased during the bath by 8.7 mmHg (p=0.000001), DBP by 4.8 mmHg (p=0,000727). SBP, DBP values for pre-treatment measurements decreased by 14.4 mmHg (p=0,000000) and 9.7 mmHg (p=0,000005), respectively. Conclusions: Pearl baths decreases blood pressure and increase pulse. The dynamics of changes in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate do not differ significantly between male and female.
