Ainda que os nossos batimentos cardíacos não estejam ligados ao andamento, certamente que consideramos andamentos mais lentos como sendo mais relaxantes e mais empolgantes os que são mais rápidos. Esta tensão estará provavelmente ligada ao facto de não gostarmos da incerteza e, especialmente, ao nosso receio de não conseguirmos lidar com uma situação.”
