According to Revathi P. , these are the two ways that blood from the legs return to the heart :
1) the abdominal contraction necessary to fix the pelvis raised inferior caval pressure and impeded venous outflow from the legs,
(2) the leg muscles themselves were capable of effectively pumping blood past this functional obstruction. By doing so, these peripheral pumps contributed more than 30% of the energy required to circulate blood during running.
