Hypertension increases the risk of heart disease globally, while running has gained popularity as a preventive measure. However, it can also lead to Exercise-Induced Hypertension (EIH), particularly in middle-aged long-distance runners who exhibit higher EIH levels than other age groups. This study investigates blood pressure variations before and after running within a running community. Utilizing a pre-experimental design with a pre- and post-test approach, the study included respondents over 18 years old, who ran more than 1 kilometer and trained at least twice weekly. A purposive sample of 36 community members was selected. Blood pressure and pulse were measured before and immediately after running. The majority of respondents were male (33.3%), young (52.78%), and non-smokers (72.2%). Findings indicated that running did not significantly affect Systolic Blood Pressure (p>0.05), but it did impact Diastolic Blood Pressure (p<0.05). No significant changes in blood pressure were observed, suggesting EIH (resting blood pressure <140/90 mmHg and maximum during exercise ≥210 mmHg for men and ≥190 mmHg for women). The stable or decreased blood pressure is attributed to metabolic vasodilation during exercise. Continuous blood pressure monitoring is essential to mitigate potential health risks.

Conclusion

This study concluded that running activity did not affect systolic blood pressure but influenced diastolic blood pressure.Blood pressure measurements before and after running in the runner group did not indicate any alarming abnormal responses such as Exercise-Induced Hypertension (EIH).Therefore, continuous blood pressure monitoring is crucial, and individuals should understand the risk factors associated with EIH to facilitate prevention and management.

Future Research

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor spesifik yang memengaruhi respons tekanan darah terhadap aktivitas lari pada komunitas pelari, termasuk mempertimbangkan variasi individu dalam tingkat kebugaran, intensitas latihan, dan karakteristik fisiologis. Selain itu, studi prospektif jangka panjang diperlukan untuk mengevaluasi hubungan antara respons tekanan darah saat berolahraga dan risiko kejadian kardiovaskular di masa depan pada pelari, sehingga dapat membantu mengidentifikasi individu yang berisiko tinggi dan memerlukan intervensi lebih lanjut. Terakhir, penelitian intervensi yang berfokus pada strategi untuk mengoptimalkan respons tekanan darah selama berolahraga, seperti program pelatihan yang disesuaikan atau intervensi nutrisi, dapat memberikan wawasan berharga untuk mengurangi risiko EIH dan meningkatkan kesehatan kardiovaskular pada komunitas pelari.
