This reveals new U.S. scientific research. The researchers, led by Dr. Paul Williams of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, studied comparative data for about 33,000 people who have systematically running and other 15,000 who prefer walking (men was 51% runners and 21% of the gait ).
The study involving people aged 18 to 80 years old and lasted for six years, found that walking at a fast pace is more effective in reducing cardiac risk associated with running, when in both cases the man pays the same amount of energy based on the calories you burn.
Specifically, running reduced the risk of coronary heart disease by 4.5%, while more than twice as fast walking at 9.3%. Regarding individual cardiovascular risk factors, the risk of high blood pressure (hypertension) for the first time fell by 4.2% from running and by 7.2% from the fast pace, the risk of high cholesterol for the first time fell by 4 3% of the run and 7% of brisk walking, and the risk of diabetes for the first time decreased by approximately 12% in both cases of physical exercise.
Experts recommend that adults a moderate-intensity physical activity at least 30 minutes a day for five days a week or, alternatively, at least 20 minutes of vigorous exercise a day for three days a week.
Also suggest the combination of intense and most gentle exercises, for example fast walking 30 minutes twice a week and running 20 minutes two days a week. The aim, among other things, to increase heart function, help control weight and reduce risk of chronic diseases.
