Introduction: The cardiovascular system has multiple components that work to ensure an enough oxygen is supplied to the muscles‚ both at rest and during exercise. The objective of this laboratory session was to measure‚ and compare how the cardiovascular system responds to dynamic and isometric exercise. The research question for this lab was “What is the effect of different exercise modalities on the cardiovascular system?”. In response to this research question‚ the following hypothesis was formed

large amounts of energy in three different ways. The ATP/CP system‚ anaerobic system and the Aerobic system all combine during periods of exercise to allow our bodies to continue exercise or playing sport. Most sports have a major system which takes up the bulk of the energy production during the activity and the timing in switching from one to another. This plays a major role in success in the playing arena. In a sport such as Australian Rules football it is important that the systems can switch back
