Thank you very much, Steven, for these references. I am still very new in this area and therefore, what you said about not being able to used the heart rate as a means of determining the intensity of exercise amazed me. If not the heart rate, then what? Another question is what difference will it make if a heart if innervated or denervated? Thanks again.
