Abstract:
Objective: The objective of this experiment was to determine our blood pressure (the pressure of
Design: A group of four who elects two people to run two laps around the San Marin Football
Field.
Subject: One teenage boy and girl both in their sophomore year at San Marin High School.
Variables Measured: The variables measured were the boys and girls blood pressure.
Analysis: The blood pressures of both runners rose right when they finished running a mile,
Results: After running the two laps, we determined that their blood pressure rose over their base
one, then after a couple minutes they ended up dropping below their blood pressure due to them
resting.
Implication: Exercising increases blood pressure quickly than slowly decreases it while resting
Introduction:
We tested this to see how homeostasis affects our blood pressure. The brain, heart,
kidneys, and blood vessels are the organs that regulate our bodies blood pressure. High blood
pressure is linked to overactive nerves in the sympathetic nervous system. A poor diet, lack of
exercise, and certain medication can cause blood pressure to raise. Our hypothesis was that after
running the two laps the runners blood pressure will just increase.
Hypothesis:
We thought the runners blood pressure would rise when they stopped running the two laps
Procedure:
1.) Choose two people who will be running two laps around the track.
2.) Once you chose two runners, take their blood pressure before they run to determine their
normal one.
3.) Have them run two laps around the track while timing it.
4.) Once they are done running the two laps, take their blood pressure.
5.) Have them sit and wait once theyre done, and test their blood pressure every minute until
Materials:
-A track
-Timer
-A camera

Observations:
-Runner A(boy) flexed his arm when testing his blood pressure
Discussion:
Our hypothesis was incorrect because we thought the blood pressure would rise but what
we discovered that after exercise blood pressure goes up quickly then slowly decreases and
results in a lower blood pressure than before you began to exercise. Overall, our experiment
didnt go very well. The only things that really was successful was them running at a constant
speed throughout the two laps that they ran. We had a lot of errors which caused our experiment
to not be as accurate as it shouldve been. We could have improved our materials and our timing.
Our materials were provided by the school which were not very functional. For our timing we
couldve have gotten an more accurate time while measuring blood pressure after the run. In
conclusion, for further investigation we could have tested with a better cuff and time to see how
long it took for the runners blood pressure to drop below their pre run blood pressure.
