I’ve always wondered, if walking involves more movement and presumably more energy, why does standing in one place feel more exhausting than walking for the same amount of time? How does our body differentiate between the two, and what’s happening in our muscles and circulatory system that makes standing still feel so much more tiring?
In: Biology
Your muscles get tired because of a build up of waste material.
Standing still contracts the muscles which lowers blood flow and causes build of up waste in your muscles which can make them sore/tired.
Moving will cause the blood to pump and clear waste and prevent soreness.
