Abstract The primary purpose of this laboratory experiment was to record the effects that light exercise has on different cardiovascular functions such as mean blood pressure‚ cardiac out put‚ and total peripheral resistance by comparing both of the numerical values before and after exercise. Prior to exercise‚ the mean blood pressure (MBP) was 86.8 mmHg with a standard deviation of 7.4. After exercise‚ MBP was 96.3 mmHg with a standard deviation of 9.2. The cardiac output (CO) was 5.3 Liters/minute
