The gym can be a discouraging place. Puffed and exhausted, it's never wise to sneak a peek at the clock.the timer starts, but when your body gets going, those seconds are about to feel longer than normal, according to a series of new experiments.they are the first to"conclusively demonstrate that the perception of time slows down during exercise", no matter how intense or competitive the environment.
At rest, participants thought 30 seconds was up slightly later than the actual ticking clock. In other words, time felt like it was 'flying' by. Unlike previous studies, however, the current research did not find that time feels like it runs slower at higher intensities of exercise or when a competitor is introduced.
In all the trials and at all intensity levels, participants thought time was passing at similar speeds, and slower than at rest.
