Sample Answer

Similarities:

Both tables and graphs effectively present heart rate recovery data from aerobic training investigations.
Both formats allow comparison of pre- and post-training values across different time periods.

Differences:

Tables provide exact numerical values for heart rate measurements, enabling precise analysis of recovery rates.
Tables require mental processing to identify trends and patterns in heart rate recovery.
Graphs clearly show visual trends in heart rate recovery over time, making patterns immediately visible.
Graphs sacrifice numerical precision for visual clarity and may require multiple versions to display comprehensive data.
