Depending upon the settlement layout the dwellers may be forced to walk long distances and use stairs for their routine duties. Imaginable long distances to walk occur within a system of artificial caves.
Effects on the human body
- Stimulates the immune system
- Helps to prevent certain types of diabetes by influencing the metabolism
- Prevents cardiovascular diseases
- Prevents arthritis
- Lift spirits by generating endorphins
Integrated energy generation
Physical exercise can be combined with the generation of energy. There are many possible ways to generate electricity. A dynamo should be built in every stationary bicycle. Piezoelectric elements can be a part of some exercise equipment. Compressed-air can be produced by connected mechanical air pump.
