It doesn't it just pushes veins closer to the surface of your muscles
It does have good affects:
"In summary, regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect by "remodeling" the body's entire cardiovascular system over time"

How does exercise effects Movement of blood?
The blood starts to flow faster.
What is peripheral blood flow?
Peripheral blood flow refers to blood flow that occurs in the extremities as opposed to blood that flows to the brain, heart, lungs, and vital organs.
What is the indicator of peripheral blood flow?
Strength of pulses is one clinical indicator of peripheral blood flow. Another is capillary refill time.
How does blood viscosity affect blood flow?
Peripheral resistance
Decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Anemia
What is blood flow directly proportional to?
Peripheral resistance
What decreases peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
Explain why the homeostatic mechanism of decreasing peripheral blood flow is critical to survive?
In cases of extreme trauma, such as blood loss, the body tries to preserve the internal organs by restricting peripheral blood flow.
What would decreased peripheral resistance to blood flow?
Vasodilation and decreasing blood viscosity
How do salicylates lower body temp?
Decreasing peripheral blood flow
A resistance to blood flow due to friction between blood and blood vessel walls is called what?
it is called peripheral resistance.
Is the exercise vasodilation?
Yes. As you exercise, the vessels of blood in the muscles dilate and thus the blood flow greatly.
