Abstract
Blood pressure is when your heart beats and so it pumps blood back up to your body for it to have energy and oxygen. However, as your blood pushes it creates strength, so this creates blood pressure. Pulse is to see the rate of your heart going beats per minute. In this experiment, we gather data to see if the level of physical activity could affect the result of the systolic and diastolic measures in blood pressure and if the pulse would also be affected since the blood pressure and pulse work together in most of the cases.
Introduction
The definition of blood pressure is pressure of the blood in the circulatory system, measured closely related by the force and rate of the heartbeat and diameter …show more content…
It was collected during a class period in the LVB classroom 188 in anatomy laboratory. We used a sphygmomanometer or “blood pressure cuff” and a stethoscope and we took the blood pressure manually. The data was collected with our outcomings for the blood pressure and the pulse (BPM) and the level of physical activity in a sheet anonymously. The activity level where categorized from level zero meaning no activity, level one was being thirty to an hour of exercise, level two was from an hour and a half to two hours of exercises, level three was from three to four hours, and lastly level four was more than five hours of exercise. We mathematically used the mean and range by using the excel processor to know we weren’t doing any mistakes. From the data, we enquired and after doing our mathematical results we converted them to graphs to see the average of an overall perspective and so how everything came to be.
Results
Our research indicates that the average persons who have zero physical activity have a mean (average) in their systolic blood pressure of 115. As you see in this three graphs they give you the information about systolic, diastolic, and the pulse measurements and average of them within the levels of activity that went from the lowest of zero to four being the
