Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason for the change in different processes during exercise like cardiac output gets double but organs like kidney get 50% less blood flow than normal and skeletal muscles get 10-fold more blood.

Introduction:

During exercise metabolic activity in the skeletal muscle goes way high. It is so because skeletal muscles demand energy in order to fulfill the exercise regime. Thus, blood flow toward the skeletal muscle increase. At the same time, organs like kidney and digestive system get less blood flow as they do not need blood at that time.
