dc.description.abstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of calisthenic-based aerobic exercise training applied via real-time telerehabilitation on cardiac functions, exercise capacity, physical activity and body composition in an adult patient with systemic hypertension. Methods: A 48-year-old female case is presented in this study. The hypertensive individual who applied to the Sorgun State Hospital Department of Cardiology was consulted for cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Since the patient did not have access to outpatient CR, the physical therapist decided to perform synchronous telerehabilitation. Before and at the end of the exercise training, exercise capacity was assessed with 6-minute stepper test and maximal stress test, physical activity level with the International Physical Activity Scale and smart watch, body composition with bioelectrical impedance analysis, and systolic and diastolic functions with echocardiography. The patient underwent submaximal exercise training via video conference for 24 sessions and real-time heart rate monitoring was performed with a smart watch during the exercise. Results: The patient (height: 155 cm, body mass index: 31.61 kg/m²) completed all 24 sessions (100%). No adverse events were observed during the exercise sessions. At the end of the exercise training, there were improvements in the patient’s systolic and diastolic functions as well as in 24-hour blood pressure monitoring. Moreover, there was a significant increase in predicted oxygen consumption and exercise capacity levels. In addition, positive changes were observed in the patient’s physical activity level and body composition. Discussion: Hypertension, a major cause of morbidity and mortality, can benefit from aerobic exercise training delivered via telerehabilitation, which has demonstrated significant improvements in cardiometabolic health. Given the high adherence rate, cost-effectiveness, and feasibility, cardiac telerehabilitation appears to be a promising intervention for managing hypertension in clinical practice.
