observe the change based on age group and amount of exercise they take.

HYPOTHESIS
According to the information we found out after research
in the internet and consulting a few doctors we found out that, Athletes will have low blood pressure and low pulse rate and non athletes will have high blood pressure and high pulse rate. As the age increases, blood pressure and pulse rate increases. Hence, people falling under age of 10-15 years, will have least blood pressure compared to other groups and blood pressure will slowly increase and will be highest in people falling under age group of 25-30 years and they will have more pulse rate when compared to other age groups!
MATERIALS REQUIRED
Treadmill
Towel Water
VARIABLES
Independent variable- people of different age group.
Dependent variable- blood pressure and pulse rate. Controlled variable-
PROCEDURE
First of all we made a list of 10 athletes and 10 non-
athletes for each age group (independent variable) which made a total of 80 people including both athletes and non-athletes. Then they were further divided into equal number of males and females to get the proper ratio which includes 5 males and 5 females in each group. Everyday a few students from our school were taken to gym and we recorded their initial blood pressure and pulse rate (dependent variable) at rest.
While recording the blood pressure and pulse there are many precautions which must not be overlooked. They are: the instrument must be kept at the heart level. the person should be at rest for some time and they must not move or talk during the process of measuring the data. second hand should be used to give support to the other hand where the instrument is fit.
minutes (controlled variable) and again their blood pressure and pulse were measured. We followed the same procedure for all age groups and then compared the data with the hypothesis. Then we created the graphs to know the difference in dependent variable before and after exercise and also to know whose blood pressure and pulse is more than the other.

CONCLUSION
My data clearly supports the hypothesis. My data
shows that the athletes have low blood pressure and low pulse rate compared to the non athletes of same age group which is clearly seen from the graphs. When the data is compared between two different age groups, it is clearly seen that as the age increases, the blood pressure increases. I saw a specific trend in the change in blood pressure and pulse rate before and after exercise.
The systolic value increases by a 1-5 mm of mercury and diastolic decreases by 1-2 mm of mercury or remains the same. The pulse rate shows a tremendous increase of around 20-30 units (beats per minute). This change is same for all groups.
LIMITATIONS
The digital instrument which we used had errors so
sometimes the readings came wrong. Manual sphygmomanometers are more accurate than the digital ones. As the age increases, pulse rate should increase but in some cases we got a low pulse rate due to errors in instrument or human errors.
