Therefore, we conducted literature reviews to the research foundation and testimony of the older students involved in the work. According to surveys conducted by the teachers, the excessive demand of the public and elderly hypertensive students requires a reformulation of the project, subdividing classes, offering specific activities for each audience, especially for the elderly, which the public is more vulnerable to diseases and require a special attention. Despite the benefits that the project provides the population, there are still some flaws that need to be corrected, thus increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the project.
