ILOs

• Describe typical values for the increase in heart rate during muscular work or exercise in healthy people
• Describe the ECG changes seen during exercise in healthy people
• Describe and explain the changes in arterial blood pressure which accompany dynamic and static muscular effort respectively
• Explain how exercise tests can be used diagnostically
