It depends entirley what tests they need to run.

I would presume if its a general check up they would do blood pressure and probably weight and height, maybe check your hip to waist ratio aswell.

In any case, blood pressure is measured by a Sphygmonometer usually. Which you probably will of seen before. It's a inflatable cuff that wraps round the top of your left arm and squeezes so its cut off blood flow and it will measure the systolic and diastolic rate of your heart.
