The Ithaca College Wellness Clinic and Exercise and Sport Science department want to again thank all the participants who took part in the No Pressure Blood Pressure program on October 10th!
We recorded blood pressures from 255 people, with the average BP of 119/75. We recommend systolic, which is the first number, to be less than 120 and diastolic to be less than 80… so way to go IC!!! We also recorded if people were active or sedentary and found the “active” people to have an average lower blood pressure (118/74) than the “sedentary” (125/78). We are challenging you to see what your blood pressure is on Wednesday, November 29th. The Ithaca College Exercise and Sport Science students will be coming around campus and asking you to take your BP. Williams and The Park School had the least amount of BP’s taken so let’s get those numbers higher! Here are the times and locations for NPBP. If you have a request for a specific time to come to your office or building, please contact the wellness clinic at wellness@ithaca.edu
