results aren't relevant to real use!

As a regular user of a treadmill desk, I can say with confidence that I cannot get much done at a speed of 1.5 mph, but can read, write, work on email, design lectures, conduct conference calls, etc, at a range of 0.8 to 1.2 mph. I am sure that asking novice users to walk at 1.5 mph while doing the study task would lead to exactly the results obtained. I wish several speeds had been tested.
