If you want to live longer and remain healthy, then start walking at a faster pace as it can reduce the risk of mortality due to cardiovascular disease, say researchers.<\/p>\n
The results showed that walking at an average pace reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease mortality by 24 per cent and 21 per cent for those walking at a faster pace.<\/p>\n
Walking at an average pace also reduced the risk for all cause mortality by 20 per cent whereas walking at a fast pace reduced the risk by four more per cent, compared to walking at a slow pace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile sex and body mass index did not appear to influence outcomes, walking at an average or fast pace was associated with a significantly reduced risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease. There was no evidence to suggest pace had a significant influence on cancer mortality however,\u201d said lead author, Emmanuel Stamatakis, Professor from Charles Perkins Centre and School of Public Health at University of Sydney.<\/p>\n
\u201cA fast pace is generally five to seven kilometres per hour, but it really depends on a walker\u2019s fitness levels; an alternative indicator is to walk at a pace that makes you slightly out of breath or sweaty when sustained,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The study published in British Journal of Sports Medicine, included data from 50,225 walkers.<\/p>\n
The researchers also found that average pace walkers aged 60 years or over experienced a 46 per cent reduction in risk of death from cardiovascular causes, and fast pace walkers a 53 percent reduction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
