Respiratory pump Smooth muscle Gravity In small groups, answer the following.....using your knowledge, show how venous return may impact on the quality of performance. You may consider before, during & after physical activity. Blood pooling VR requires a force to push blood back towards the heart. If there is insufficient pressure to push blood back towards the heart, it causes blood pooling. This is why an active cool down is important as it prevents blood pooling after exercise by maintaining the muscle and respiratory pumps. Redistribution of cardiac output from rest to exercise involves a process called the Vascular Shunt Mechanism Approx 80% Q Organs ...................... Cardiac Output (Q) Muscles ....................... Approx 20% Q At rest <<intensity>> During exercise
