Hypothesis:

I believe that someone who takes care of themselves by dieting & exercising will have the best blood pressure.

Materials:

Stethoscope
spygmomenometer

The Procedure:

I put people into several groups.
2 athletes, 2 over-weight people, 2 thin people and 2 housewives, and 2 businessmen. I took their blood pressure in the morning and in the evening. I did this for a period of two weeks.

Results:

After a two week analysis of blood pressures I found that the thin person had the best blood pressure.
