venous muscle pump / skeletal-muscle pump

My comment:

La position debout pose donc un problème : le sang veineux ne peut "remonter" que par la "chasse" musculaire des mollets à la marche

La chasse musculaire: Elle correspond à une action de pompage des muscles qui se contractent
http://le-canard-dechaine.perso.libertysurf.fr/Reponsecardiovasculairealexercice.htm

muscle pump compression of veins by the contraction of skeletal muscles, forcing blood towards the heart against the flow of gravity; seen particularly in the deep veins of the lower limbs. Called also venous pump.
