◐Partially SupportedMovement practice can be categorized into ballistic and smooth movements.

◐Partially SupportedIndividual differences in sensory system utilization exist, leading to varied approaches and results in practice.

◐Partially SupportedReaction time is at least four times faster in panoramic awareness mode compared to narrowly focused vision.

◐Partially SupportedSimple habits introduced into the workday, education, or corporate environments can bring freshness and potentially increase productivity.

◐Partially SupportedDirecting eyes upwards increases alertness, while downward eye movements promote calm.

◐Partially SupportedLinear walking can lead to less natural air pumping, requiring more forceful breathing and resulting in wasted energy.

◐Partially SupportedIncorporating more mobile chairs or rocking chairs can support motion and refresh the body.

◐Partially SupportedEngaging in a variety of walks is a beneficial practice.
