Do short people tire more easily?

[dottydodah]

I am 5ft 0 ins ,defo feel when walking I feel more tired than my taller friend.I am taking more steps to cover the same amount of ground .Does anyone else notice this? YABU of course it doesnt matter about your height .YANBU Shorter people feel more tired as have to walk more sreps

I have never found this. I am weaker for sure, but I can keep going. Smaller/lighter people burn fewer calories than taller/heavier ones running or walking the same distance.

How do you know if you’ve never been tall?

Taller men yes. Apparently if you're a women over 5ft 9 you're 30% more likely to make it your 90s than a short woman. Thank goodness for me at 5ft 10 😁

I (5'1") take more steps than my husband (5'10") when we're walking together, but I have less weight to propel forwards so I imagine we're using roughly the same amount of energy to get from A to B.

I don't feel like being short contributes to tiring me - I don't consistently get worn out before other people doing the same thing as me anyway.

Interesting,

My tiny family have all have heart disease and its the leading cause of death, we have a horror of booze and cheese in case this makes things worse. Very little cancer in the family luckily (touching wood)
My tall in-laws eat and drink like a Tudor King and have strong healthy hearts , but suffer back problems and sadly the family had had a lot of cancer to deal with.

I'm not sure on this one.
My husband is shorter than me and he walks SO fast I'm literally running to keep up with him!

Good answers here.Interesting .I am 5ft 0 ,sadly not as slim as I could be! Also in views of health Diagnosed with Cancer ! So not all taller people after all
