HYPERTENSION
Considering the importance of increasing hypertension prevalence in old age and the lower physical activity of older people, our results show that a VR exergame could lead to blood pressure lowering effects for older people with hypertension. Accordingly, as with conventional training methods, postexercise hypotension was observed for both VR sessions in our study. However, our results also showed that, on average, less than half of the participants trained within their individual moderate load intensities. Moreover, the findings obtained can serve as a basis for further studies and have, therefore, focused for the first time on a target group of patients with hypertension. However, future studies need to examine the long-term benefits of VR exergame training for elderly patients with hypertension.
