Abstract
Abstract This case series assessed a smartphone application for prescribing exercise and its effect on blood pressure (BP), cardiopulmonary endurance, and adherence to the exercise program in individuals with primary hypertension. Five hypertensive individuals completed the home-based exercise program, which included aerobic exercise prescribed using the Google Fit app for 4 weeks. A significant decrease in both systolic and diastolic BP was observed, according to the results (146–124 and 96.4 83.2 mmHg, respectively). In the incremental shuttle walk test, cardiopulmonary endurance increased from 324 m to 510 m, and the mean adherence rate recorded was 95%. The findings suggest that smartphone application-based exercise prescription improves cardiovascular health in hypertensive individuals, positively affecting BP and cardiopulmonary endurance.
