The findings, published in the October edition of Neuropsychologia, found that the struggle is real.

Researchers recruited young adults for the study, put them in front of a computer and gave them the controls to an on-screen avatar.
Then, small images showing physical activity, or inactivity, flashed on the screen.
The young adults had to move their avatar as quickly as possible towards the pictures of activity and away from the pictures of inactivity, and vice versa.
By recording what was happening in their brains, researchers found that moving away from the active pictures was much harder for the subjects91裸聊视频� brains.
That came despite the fact that the subjects moved much faster when they moved towards the active pictures.
91裸聊视频淭he exciting novelty of our study is that it shows this faster avoidance of physical inactivity comes at a cost91裸聊视频攁nd that is an increased involvement of brain resources,91裸聊视频� Boisgontier, who is a postdoctoral researcher in UBC91裸聊视频檚 brain behaviour lab at the department of physical therapy, said.
