About Our Question

So this is our question,

"Is a person's blood pressure before exercise related to his blood pressure after exercise?"


Blood pressure is one of the vital signs to provide critical information needed to make the decision, in treatment and also our nursing care. In this case, we want to know how exercising will actually affects a person's blood pressure. We want to know the relationship between exercising and blood pressure and this will help us nurses to better understand our human body.

Hypothesis:
There is significant positive relationship between blood pressure before exercise and after exercise.

Conceptualization:

What is the definition of blood pressure?

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by circulating volume of blood on the walls or arteries and veins and on the chambers of the heart.
What is the definition of exercise?

It is the performance of any physical activity for the purpose of conditioning the body, improving health, or maintaining fitness or as a means of therapy for correcting a deformity or restoring the organs and body functions to a state of health.

Operationalization:
Blood pressure is measured by using a sphygmomanometer, scale in millimetre of mecury (mmHg).
It specifies exactly what we are going to observe, and how we will do it. Whereby it is to observe the blood pressure difference. It is a description of the 'operations' that we will undertake to measure a concept.
