Which one of these describes what happens to the digestive system’s blood supply during exercise? A Blood supply increases B Blood supply reduces C Blood supply remains the same - AQA - GCSE Physical Education - Question 7 - 2021 - Paper 1

During exercise, the body's demand for blood increases in the muscles to support physical activity. Consequently, the blood supply to non-essential organs, including the digestive system, is reduced. This physiological response ensures that more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the working muscles, while less blood is directed to less critical areas such as the digestive tract. Therefore, the correct answer is B: Blood supply reduces.
