Their ability to move and carry huge loads up steep mountains and at the thin-air of high-altitude is amazing. It’s a remarkable testament to efficiency: as their characteristic movement is ‘intermittent-action’ - a few minutes of climbing followed by a few minutes of rest (taking the pack-loads off, and leaning against their hiking sticks) It’s the same saltatory method as animals!
Very interesting to note this isn’t a function of recent ‘scientific specialized physiology’ and ensuing action - but long-term behavior!
...The physiology didn’t adapt to the task, the task is adapted to the physiology!
Let’s remind ourselves that ‘intermittent-action’ is the principle way we move in play (watch children) and in sports!
Yeah
- Get moving (just in bursts)
- & give it some OOMPH
