Pressure in veins draining the exercise muscle
Explanation – The muscle pump increases venous return during dynamic exercise, lowering venous pressure in dependent veins. Cardiac output must be ejected against a higher aortic pressure, a rise in arterial pressure with static exercise increases cardiac work.
