  1. mean values of the students’ individual means. The data are given as mean and 95% CI
  2. a ∆HR calculated as the difference between mean standing HR and mean HR of the recumbent phase with the lower HR
  3. b data are given for students of human medicine, dental medicine, midwifery and pharmacy
  4. c data are given for students of midwifery and pharmacy
