  1. Athlete vs. Non-athlete Blood Pressure Research by Quinten Travis

  2. Introduction • Blood pressure has been recognized as a principle vital sign and is a criteria for being in good health. • The purpose of this experiment is to test the direct effect that athletic events have on the blood pressure of athletes.

  3. Null Hypothesis: There is no significant difference in blood pressure between athletes and non-athletes. • Alternative Hypothesis: The blood pressure of athletes is significantly less that non-athletes’.

  4. Method • Participants will be asked a series of questions in order to identify predetermine factors that affect blood pressure (weight, age, height) • Participants; blood pressure will then be tested and recorded. • Data will be compared and interpreted to determine if the results of the experiment show significant differences between athletes and non-athletes.
