I slippery surface means that there would be less friction, which is what helps cars come to a stop (brake). So the less friction there is the longer it will take to stop

If it is a "grunt" like noise and you feel vibration on your foot from the brake pedal, it is probably the Anti-lock brake system activating. This occurs when you are on slippery surfaces to prevent loss of braking efficiency. When your tires skid they require more distance to stop. ABS prevents skidding.

Aerobic activities require the most efficient circulatory systems to provide enough oxygenated blood to the brain and muscles. High impact activities like running or football require more energy. Bicycling on flat surfaces keeps O2 demand more equal over long distances. Any activity or sport with short bursts of activity balanced with inactivity or rest would have lower O2 demands.
