Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exercise promotes better circulation and can help prevent thrombus formation by increasing blood flow and reducing the likelihood of blood clots. The other options are incorrect: exercise does not increase fibrinogen levels (which would promote clotting), prevent angiogenesis (in fact, it can promote the formation of new blood vessels), or decrease the heart's mass (it can increase cardiac muscle mass, improving heart function).
