How Are We Going To Do Our Experiment?

We have decided to conduct our experiment in school as our school has students that are within our target group, which is 18 to 25 years of age.

For each student whom we decide to take their blood pressure(BP), will be well-instructed and also we'll explain to them our purpose for carrying out the experiment. It is important to be ethical and ask them for permission as we do not want to force them into our experiment.

We are using a sphygmomanometer as well as a stethoscope for our experiment and only one of us is going to take the blood pressure.

The instructions we'll be giving them are:

- Relax

- Sitting in an upright position, without crossing legs

- Not to talk when BP being taken

- To do some exercise after taking the first BP

The kind of exercise we encourage them to do would be going up a few flight of stairs or run a few metres to and fro, something active. So after they did their exercise, we will then take the BP again for the 2nd reading.

So that's the plan!
