I gained very important information regards to learning how to test for blood pressure and knowing the healthy and unhealthy numbers. I also learned what hypertension and hypotension actually is and the effects that it causes the body, as well as the factors that causes hypertension and hypotension. I can use what I learned from this course by properly asking my clients personal health questions during our initial assessment/evaluation and before beginning our workout program.
