People are inherently lazy

The human body senses and optimizes the amount of energy used, adjusting it to suit each person's walking style, resulting in the least amount of energy we consume.

Lazy people are "programmed"

According to scientists at Simon Fraiser University of Canada, this process takes place within a minute . They asked the volunteers to walk while wearing a frame, making it difficult for them to walk normally. In some experiments, they also increased resistance at the knees, making it even more difficult to travel.

"Our experiment is like bringing a person into a world with completely new rules. All walks have formed, evolving through evolution and time has become obsolete in the world." "This," said lead researcher Jessica Selinger.

According to the IB Times, the study was published in the journal Current Biology on August 16, indicating that the body automatically adjusts the frequency of steps to optimize energy consumption in just one minutes, even if saving less than 5% of energy.

"We see that people are willing to change the way they walk, including gait with traits that have been formed through millions of steps in their lives. In return, they only save a small amount. This proves that most of us want to do things in the least costly way , like when we choose the shortest walk, or choose to sit rather than stand, " said Max team member. Donelan said.

"It can be said that" lazy "disease also has its physiological basis, which is evidenced immediately for simple activity like walking, our subconscious nervous system always monitors energy use. and continually optimizing the motion model so that we can move as much as possible. "

" Feeling and optimizing energy use quickly and accurately is an impressive achievement of the nervous system. To be lazy, people have to be very smart," Selinger said.
