The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a submaximum program of exercises aeróbico on the tensional numbers, in a sample of hypertense greater adults. Method: randomizado clinical test controlled simple blind person. 18 patients in the taken part group (GE) and 19 patients in the group enter 39 volunteers being control (GC). GE enters to a protocol of aerobicos exercises of 10 weeks. The GC continues with a habitual program. Measurements of arterial pressure took place in the beginning (PA) and at the end of the program in both groups. Results: in the analysis pre and post test of the numbers of PA of each group separately, only the GE obtained one differentiates statistically significant (p<05). The analysis comparative ng of both groups does not throw statistically significant results. Nevertheless, the analysis of the confidence intervals obtains a statistically significant difference between both groups.
