Why does systolic blood pressure increase during moderate exercise involving large muscle groups?

💡 Explanation

Systolic blood pressure rises during exercise because the Frank-Starling mechanism increases stroke volume, therefore boosting cardiac output and raising systolic pressure; rather than decreasing venous return or increasing parasympathetic tone, the sympathetic nervous system predominates.
