My hypothesis for this is due to the fact that men are generally larger and have bigger muscles i.e. bigger heart and so the heart will take longer to beat faster. I predict that a 17 year old males blood pressure will rise from around 120 (systole) over 70 (diastole) mmHg to 180 over 70mmHg as the diastolic reading will rarely rise-this is based on this graph that shows that during exercise the diastolic reading will hardly change at all whereas the systolic will...
