Hi, during exercise, how is the circulation to the kidney affected? Would it be true to say that that there is no change in blood flow cos of the mechanisms at the glomerulus?

No, I think whole blood flow to the kidney goes down.

Your glomerulus argument applies to GFR -that will be somewhere in your script you are reading and that is autoregulated, I agree

however Iam sure urine output is suppressed during exercise.
