Abstract
Evident was the increase in physical forms of transportation like walking or cycling for participants living in rural areas. While these participants saw improvement in their condition, participants in the city saw a decline mainly due to fatigue. The fatigue proved to be a crucial factor for all forms of mobility. It was mainly the product of two factors, i.e. overstimulation due to auditive and visual stimuli, and cognitive impairment such as shorter attention spans and reduced concentration. This caused a downward spiral inducing exponentially more fatigue, which reportedly was present while driving. Due to overstimulation the participants reported not using public transport, since it induced extensive amounts of fatigue caused by overcrowded stations, buses and trains.
