“…In agreement with the present study finding studies conducted by Swati et al (2015), Collier et al (2008), Westhoff et al (2008), Fagard & Cornelissen (2007), Fagard (2006, Cornelissen & Fagard (2005), Isdebska et al (2004 reported that both resting SBP and DBP significantly reduced at the end of the aerobic exercise intervention compared to baseline. The findings of our study also supported by Gholamrezai et al (2014), Lima et al (2014), Cornelissen & Smart (2013), Lamina (2010, Tsai et al (2004), Tsai et al (2002 those reported significant reduction in resting SBP and DBP in the EG compared to CG after the intervention. However, some studies found no significant changes in SBP and DBP after 8 weeks to 16 weeks of aerobic exercise intervention (Lima et al, 2012;Bateman et al, 2011).…”

This study was aimed at determining the effects of aerobic exercise training on blood pressure in men hypertensive patients. To this end, the study employed a randomized controlled, parallel-group design. Accordingly, twenty-four male hypertensive patients with a mean age of 38±4 years were assigned into two groups (n=12 each): the exercise group means body mass index 26.8±1.54 kg/m2 and the control group's mean body mass index 27.2±1.98 kg/m2. The research participants' systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) data were collected at baseline and after 16 weeks of the study period. The exercise group (EG) participants performed moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 16 weeks three days per week. On the other hand, the control group (CG) participants did not take part in exercise intervention but continued their usual daily activities during the study period. Statistical analysis data collected was done using SPSS version 20. Analyses of withingroup and between-group comparisons were done using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test, respectively, with the level of significance set at P<0.05. The results of this analysis show that the EG has demonstrated significant within-group mean changes in SBP (-7.1 mm Hg; P<0.001), and in DBP (-5.6 mm Hg; P<0.001) compared to baseline. The result in the CG was found insignificant within-group mean changes in SBP (-0.3 mm Hg; P=0.51), and in DBP (-0.3 mm Hg; P=0.39) compared to baseline. Moreover, between-group comparisons showed that mean SBP and DBP significantly reduced in EG compared to CG. Therefore, it can be concluded that 16 weeks, moderate-intensity and supervised aerobic exercise training significantly reduce blood pressure levels in stage 1 hypertensive patients. Thus hypertensive patients could be encouraged to take part in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training regularly.

“…At the end of this study, it was discovered that 6-weeks of aerobic exercise and laughter therapy (the experimental group) had a significant reduction in BMI, SBP, DBP, and GDS compared to aerobic exercise alone (the control group) (p < 0.001), which is consistent with Lima et al (19) , who discovered a significant reduction in BMI, SBP, and DBP after moderate aerobic training in the elderly (p =0.01). Also, Funakubo et al (20) found that a laughter program reduced BMI in obese women (p =0.006), and Ponraj (21) noticed that there was a statistically significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p <0.001) within the laughter group in hypertensive patients.…”

Background: Physical and mental abilities generally diminish with the natural process of aging. Exercise on a regular basis is essential for everyone. Adequate physical exercise in older adults is associated with a better life. Improvements in both physical and mental health are linked to laughter therapy. The aim of the current study was to examine the unrecognized combined effects of aerobic exercise and laughter therapy on functional, cognitive, and psychological well-being in the elderly. Patients and methods: A total of 60 elderly individuals were divided into two groups; the experimental group (n=30), which received aerobic exercise with laughter therapy, and the control group (n=30), which received the identical experimental group's aerobic exercise program only, 3 times a week over 6 weeks. Body mass index, blood pressure, functional capacity (assessed by the 6-minute walk test distance), functional activity level (evaluated by the Functional Independence Measure), cognitive function (determined by the Mini-Mental State Examination), and psychological status (estimated by the Geriatric Depression Scale) were all assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks. All participants completed the study, and the outcome measure data were analyzed. Results: By comparing the experimental group to the control group, all measured variables revealed a significant change in both groups (p<0.001) but in favor of the experimental group rather than the control. Conclusions: The elderly may benefit physiologically and mentally from laughter therapy combined with exercise. Laughter therapy may be a powerful method for inspiring people to engage in physical activity and obtain greater results.
