The results showed that before treatment (pre test) showed that the min-max value of systolic blood pressure was 120-150 mmHg with a mean±SD value of 138.52±6.767 while the min-max value of diastolic blood pressure was 80-90 mmHg. with a mean±SD value of 82.59±4.466. After being given treatment (post test), the min-max value of systolic blood pressure is 120-145 mmHg with a mean±SD value of 133.15±6.672 while the min-max value of diastolic blood pressure is 70-90 mmHg with a mean value of ± SD is 80±2.774 and there is an effect of ergonomic exercise on reducing blood pressure in the elderly with hypertension in the work area of the Tandebura Health Center, Kolaka Regency.
