Interpreted data collected for heart rate, breathing rate and temperature before and after a standard period of exercise - Samuel Lincoln-Collins:
Before:
Blood pressure- 89
Systolic pressure- 134
Diastolic pressure- 78
After:
Blood pressure- 101
Systolic pressure- 154
Diastolic pressure- 80
Blood pressure is measured by the amount of pressure on a person’s arteries every time that the heart beats. There two different parts to finding out someone’s blood pressure, these are the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure.
Systolic pressure: the first number, this is the amount of pressure on the heart when It beats.
Diastolic pressure- This is the second number, this is for the pressure on the arteries when the heart is not beating.
High blood pressure or ‘Hypertension’ can be a sign that the heart is working faster than it needs to push the blood around the body and through the blood vessels. There are controllable risk factors for high blood pressure such as having a diet with high amounts of salt, being overweight, smoking and a stressful lifestyle. There are also uncontrollable risks to high blood pressure such as age or family history.
After rest:
Blood pressure- 93
Systolic pressure- 142
Diastolic pressure- 78
After exercise the heart rate and blood pressure where higher as the heart had been pumping blood around the body faster than before the exercise, this also lead to an increase in temperature as warm blood was moving around the body faster. After a short rest the blood pressure had almost returned to what it had been prior to the exercise and the temperature had also been
