Suggested experiments
The following experiments can be performed with the Blood Pressure sensor:
•
Using the oscillometric method to calculate blood pressure.
•
Measure blood pressure before and after exercise and while sitting or standing;
•
Compare blood pressure after voluntary isometric contractions (weight lifting) and a
rhythmic activity such as running or biking;
•
Study the effect of caffeine on blood pressure.
