Abstract: The cardiovascular response to exercise has several variables but this study will be limited to the heart rate response, blood pressure response and predicted VO2 max. These variables are what this study will be utilizing to evaluate the fitness level of the participants. The purpose of this study was to estimate the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2 max) and compare the cardiovascular response of professional male football players and basketball players to Chester step bench test.A total of 100 athletes (50 football players and 50 basketball players) recruited through convenience sampling participated in the study. The research design was quasi experimental research design......
