Question

How is blood pressure measured?

systolic - at rest
systolic - heart relaxed
systolic - heart pumping
diastolic - exercising
diastolic - heart relaxed
diastolic - heart pumping

Answer 1

systolic - pumping, diastolic - relaxed

Step-by-step explanation:

the period of contraction is called systole, and the period of relaxation is diastole. when measured, your systolic pressure is when the heart is pumping, and diastolic is in between beats when the heart relaxes. hope this helps :)
