Found a study that reports, walking enhances creativity.

Here is a summary:

• People have noted that walking seems to have a special relation to creativity
• Among the 48 participants, 81% improved their creative output when walking
• If we ignore the criteria of appropriateness and non-repetition, a notable finding is that participants produced roughly 50% more total ideas when walking
• While the long-term effects of aerobic activity may be general, the concurrent effects of mild physical activity were selective to divergent thinking
• For Barron’s symbolic equivalence task (BSE), 100% of those who walked outside generated at least one novel high-quality analogy compared with 50% of those seated inside

TLDR: Walking had a large effect on creativity. Most of the participants benefited from walking compared with sitting, and the average increase in creative output was around 60%.

“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (1889)
