    Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is diagnosed when systolic blood pressure is ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure is ≥90 mmHg on two separate occasions. Risk factors include unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, tobacco/alcohol use, and obesity. Hypertension often has no symptoms and is called a "silent killer," so regular blood pressure checks are important. Exercise recommendations for those with hypertension include moderate aerobic activity at 64-76% of maximum heart rate for 30-45 minutes, 3-7 days per week. Special considerations include medications that affect temperature regulation or blood pressure, as well as education to promote exercise adherence.

    ACTIVITY 1

    HYPERTENSION

    What is hypertension?

    Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood against the walls of the body’s arteries, the
    major blood vessels in the body. Hypertension is when blood pressure is too high.Blood pressure is
    written as two numbers. The first (systolic) number represents the pressure in blood vessels when the
    heart contracts or beats. The second (diastolic) number represents the pressure in the vessels when the
    heart rests between beats. Hypertension is diagnosed if, when it is measured on two different days, the
    systolic blood pressure readings on both days is ≥140 mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure
    readings on both days is ≥90 mmHg. Modifiable risk factors include unhealthy diets (excessive salt
    consumption, a diet high in saturated fat and trans fats, low intake of fruits and vegetables), physical
    inactivity, consumption of tobacco and alcohol, and being overweight or obese. Non-modifiable risk
    factors include a family history of hypertension, age over 65 years and co-existing diseases such as
    diabetes or kidney disease. Hypertension is called a "silent killer". Most people with hypertension are
    unaware of the problem because it may have no warning signs or symptoms. For this reason, it is
    essential that blood pressure is measured regularly. When symptoms do occur, they can include early
    morning headaches, nosebleeds, irregular heart rhythms, vision changes, and buzzing in the ears. Severe
    hypertension can cause fatigue, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anxiety, chest pain, and muscle tremors.
    The only way to detect hypertension is to have a health professional measure blood pressure. Having
    blood pressure measured is quick and painless. Individuals can also measure their own blood pressure
    using automated devices, however, an evaluation by a health professional is important for assessment
    of risk and associated conditions.

    RED FLAGS OR -Antihypertensive medications such as beta-blockers and diuretics impair


    SPECIAL the ability to regulate body temperature during exercise in hot or humid
    CONSIDERATIONS environments.

    - Antihypertensive agents such as alpha blockers, calcium channel


    blockers and vasodilators may provoke hypotensive episodes after abrupt
    cessation of activity. Hence extending the cooldown period is generally
    recommended.
    - Many persons with HTN are overweight or obese. Therefore, an exercise
    program that emphasizes a daily caloric expenditure of more than 300
    kcal, coupled with reductions in energy intake, should be recommended.
    - Patient education regarding the importance of regular exercise for BP
    control and management may increase exercise adherence. Anecdotal
    evidence suggests knowledge of the immediate BP lowering effects of
    exercise may promote exercise adherence.
