Why is standing on a hard surface over a long period of time harder on the body than standing on something soft. Does having more cushioned shoes compound the effect? Conversely, would hard shoes negate the effect on a soft surface? How much does foot anatomy affect this?
In: Biology
Even standing you are exerting force down, so the ground is exerting force back up. A hard floor has nothing to help absorb and dissipate that force, a softer floor does, so the amount of force exerted back up is less.
