It is possible to change audio speeds to suit oneself, but I don't think ease of changing temp correlates to how active an activity is.

For example, suppose there were a woman on a programmed treadmill going a fixed speed. Is her running any less active than another woman running on a track at any speed she likes, and even when the woman on a treadmill may be running faster?

Or, inversely, if someone were reading book text with an app that changes sections of text at a particular fixed speed, is this any less active than someone reading at whichever speed they like?
