The purpose of this research is to examine the difference in cardiorespiratory response between dynamic and static exercise when a leg press is performed with one leg or two legs and the weight load remains the same. From this comparison between the dynamic and static exercises, it is suggested that static exercise is likely to induce greater circulatory response while dynamic exercise tends to bring about greater respiratory response. This seemingly attributes to the tendency that static muscle contraction limits the blood flow to the active muscles.
