    The document summarizes a blood pressure lab where students measured their blood pressure manually and digitally both before and after touching their toes for one minute. The hypothesis was that blood pressure would rise after the activity, but the data showed blood pressures generally decreased slightly or were unaffected. While the activity lowered rather than raised blood pressure as predicted, the conclusion is that touching toes for a minute does not have a large impact on blood pressure.
