Answer:

Lack of movement allows blood to circulate in a vein very slowly by sitting still for long periods of time. Slow-flowing blood is more likely to clot than normal-flowing blood. This issue is referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In DVT, as seen in the diagram, the clot normally takes place in a leg vein.
