Much of Feltz’s research in this area has focused on the K?hler Motivation Effect, a phenomenon that explains why people, who may not be adept exercisers themselves, perform better with a moderately better partner or team as opposed to working out alone.

Her findings give credence that programs such as “CyBud-X” can make a difference in the way people perform.

“We know that people tend to show more effort during exercise when there are other partners involved because their performance hinges on how the entire team does,” she says. “The fact that a nonhuman partner can have a similar effect is encouraging.”
她说：“我们知道，当在锻炼中有其他伙伴参与的时候，人们倾向于表现的更为卖力。因为他们的表现与整个团队的表现息息相关。事实上，一个非人类伙伴同样可以有鼓舞人心的作用。”
