Study Notes
Importance of Movement
- Human bodies are designed for movement; remaining still is counterintuitive to our physiology.
- Prolonged immobility leads to discomfort and fatigue, indicating our need for change in position.
Impact of Extended Stillness
- Staying in one position for an extended time can affect physical comfort and overall well-being.
- Common scenarios, such as driving, highlight constraints imposed by fixed postures, leading to discomfort.
Driving and Body Position
- Driving typically requires a fixed posture—seat position, head orientation, and hand/foot placement on controls.
- These constraints contribute to the feeling of immobility and discomfort during long periods of driving.
