Why does your face go red during exercise even though the sympathetic nervous system is activated which should divert your blood away from the skin and to your muscles instead?

The control of blood flow during exercise is more complicated than at first glance. At lower intensity exercise or at the start of exercise one of the main problems is heat. The blood carreis heat from the core to the skin allowing it to escape. During exercise heat would build up to dangerous levels is this system wasnt in place. However after more time the requirement of the muscles for oxygen outweighs the need to remove heat and so the blood flow to the skin is cut preserving more to flow to the the muscles.


How does the Sympathetic Division of the PNS regulate the body during exercise?

The SyNS pumps out epinephrine (adrenaline) during exercise to speed up heartrate, and regulate blood pressure. It also triggers the release of energy from your body's stores to fuel your muscles.


How can Plasma glucose levels during exercise increase?

Why does temperature increase during exercise?

The body temperature goes up because most of the energy (about 70%) that would power our muscles is lost as heat which heats us up.See the related link for more informationYour muscle use lot of energy, when you exercise. Some of the energy can not be trapped by the muscles. This energy is released in the form of heat. So the temperature of your body rises.

What are the importance of stretching?

Static stretching (stationary stretches) is important after exercise to prevent cramping and tightness in muscles that can develop into muscle tears and strains later on. Before exercise static stretching should be kept to a minimum as it limits power from the muscles. Dynamic stretches should be used before exercise to prevent injury and properly warm up the body. Generally stretching is important because it prevents injury during and after exercise.
