THAT’S ACCORDING TO A NEW POLL OF 2,000 ADULTS CONDUCTED BY ONEPOLL ON BEHALF OF ADVIL.

THEY WANTED TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE AVOID FEELING STIFF AND SORE AFTER A JOURNEY.

RESULTS SHOW SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (33%), CARRYING LUGGAGE (28%), AND WAITING IN LONG LINES AT THE AIRPORT (24%) TO BE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF ACHES AND PAINS.

LENGTH OF TIME PLAYS A BIG ROLE TOO. IN FACT, NEARLY EIGHT IN 10 (78%) SAY AFTER FIVE HOURS OF TRAVELING THEY START TO FEEL SORE.

BUS TRAVEL WAS FOUND TO BE THE WORST, LEAVING NEARLY TWO IN FIVE (39%) TRAVELERS FEELING CRAMPED UP. OTHER FORMS OF TRANSPORTATION DESTINED TO CAUSE TRAVELERS PAIN ARE AIRPLANES (33%), CARS (29%) AND TRAINS (24%).
