    This 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 results showed that touching the toes slightly lowered blood pressures on average, though not drastically. The hypothesis that blood pressure would rise was incorrect. The conclusion is that different body positions can affect blood pressure levels.
