Pundung Residents Participate in Hypertension Exercise with UNISA Yogyakarta Students

 Students from the Community Service Program (KKN) at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta successfully held a hypertension exercise program in Pundung Hamlet, Wukirsari Village, Imogiri Subdistrict, Bantul Regency. The event, held at the Pundung Village Hall on Saturday (August 23, 2025), aimed to encourage the community, particularly the elderly and those with hypertension, to maintain their health through light exercise.

The Head of Pundung Hamlet, Gunita Kumara, S.Pd., expressed her appreciation for the event organized by the UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students.

“This morning hypertension exercise is clear proof that maintaining health can start with simple steps taken together. Hopefully, with healthy bodies, the residents of Pundung Hamlet can live more productive and happy lives,” she said.

The activity was enthusiastically participated in by 17 elderly residents. They followed each exercise movement guided by UNISA Yogyakarta KKN students and local health workers. The movements were tailored to be safe and beneficial for those with high blood pressure.

After the exercise, participants underwent a health check. The results showed that most participants experienced a decrease in blood pressure, proving that this exercise is effective in helping to maintain blood pressure stability and improve fitness.

The UNISA Yogyakarta Community Service Program not only provides health benefits, but also serves as a means of strengthening community spirit. It is hoped that this activity will become a regular agenda that will be continued by the people of Pundung Hamlet.
