Results and Analysis

From this, we can see their average pre systolic pressure is 102.6±11.066 mmHg and the average post systolic pressure is 120±11.167 mmHg.
There is an increase about 18 mmHg , so we can see that the pre and post have a positive relationship between them.

As for the diastolic pressure, the pre diastolic pressure is 62±7.779 mmHg, while the post diastolic bp is 66.0±8.648mmHg.
There is actually not much of a difference compared the pre and post systolic, which is also cooperant to one of the articles, Immediate Response of Cardiovascular System to Exercise. It said, “Diastolic pressure on the other hand remains relatively unchanged regardless of exercise intensity.

The diastolic pressure in our data shows that it either remain the same, increase a bit or decrase a little. The changes is not so great, the average is about 4mmHg.

Systolic

From this table we can see that Pearson’s R value is 0.755 which indicates a strong positive relationship between pre systolic and post systolic bp,( P=0.000 which is <0.05.)


From this table we can see that a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.458 indicates a positive moderate relationship between pre diastolic and post diastolic. ( our p value is 0.011<0.05)


According to the p value we reject our null hypothesis, which is, there is no significant positive relationship between blood pressure before exercise and blood pressure after exercise.

So we accept our hypothesis, there is a significant positive relationship between blood pressure before exercise and blood pressure after exercise.

Experiment

So this is basically what happened on our experiment day.

Before BP.


Exercise time!


After BP.


Thanks people for participating!
