Brief Summary:
Physical activity is an important lifestyle modification for individuals with high blood pressure It is part of national cardiac care guidelines for hypertension management that recommends along with prescribing medication lifestyle modification be promoted for improved dietary intake and participation in about 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week Native Hawaiians and other Pacific peoples NHPP have among the highest risk for the heart disease with mortality rates twice other ethnic groups In many minority populations including NHPP hypertension develops at an early age is more severe and is less likely to be controlled Despite the ability of physical activity to reduce blood pressure the majority of US population do not meet physical activity recommendations and new interventions that can improve accessibility and adherence particularly among at-risk minority populations are needed
In this research Hypertension and Hula Ola Hou Pilot Study we plan to evaluate a culturally relevant intervention that uses hula and is consistent with the goals of recommended physical activity for improved lifestyle - moderate-intensity prolonged physical activity cumulatively at about 150 minutes per week Hula the traditional dance form of Native Hawaiians is commonly practiced in Hawaii as a cultural practice form of creative expression and exercise that is structured on controlled rhythmic movements Combining aspects of meditation music self-awareness with low-impact aerobic exercise traditional hula may be particularly suitable to individuals with limited mobility and fitness and within the recommended paradigm for exercise training and secondary prevention of coronary artery disease CAD We anticipate a hula and heart health education program will be particularly appealing to Native Hawaiians and other Pacific people NHPP including Pacific Islanders and Filipino who suffer from a significant disparity in cardiovascular health
Specifically we will determine if individuals with poorly managed hypertension and randomized to a 12-week hula and heart health education intervention will demonstrate better blood pressure levels functional capacity and exercise tolerance 6-minute walk test than individuals randomized to a usual care group We will also assess if the individuals in the hula intervention report better health-related quality of life stress management perceptions of discrimination and exercise self efficacy
