This observational study investigates the impact of elderly exercise on
heart rate among a group of elderly women in Bareng, Malang City. Fifteen
participants, aged 60 to 65, engaged in a structured exercise program over two
sessions. Heart rate measurements were taken before and after each session to
assess the immediate cardiovascular effects of physical activity. Results
indicated a significant increase in heart rate post-exercise, with an average
rise from 55.07 beats per minute (bpm) before exercise to 73.67 bpm after
exercise across both sessions. These findings highlight the effectiveness of
elderly exercise programs in stimulating cardiovascular function, promoting
heart health, and potent moodially reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases
among aging populations. The data support the incorporation of regular physical
activity into elderly care routines to maintain heart health and overall
well-being. This study underscores the importance of community-based exercise
programs for elderly individuals and suggests further research into long-term
cardiovascular outcomes.
