“…Morikawa et al [ 9 ] reported that fast walking training for 4 months increased the peak aerobic capacity and improved variables related to lifestyle diseases. However, the previous studies compared metabolic and cardiovascular adaptations between “fast interval walking” and “continuous walking” [ 10 , 11 ] and there has been no direct comparison between “fast walking” and “running”. During running, the energy expenditure (EE) increases linearly with running speed, while the EE during walking increased non-linearly, resulting in greater EE during walking compared with running above a certain speed [ 12 ].…”

[Purpose] The present study compared energy metabolism between walking and running at equivalent speeds during two incremental exercise tests.[Methods] Thirty four university students (18 males, 16 females) were recruited. Each participant completed two trials, consisting of walking (Walk) and running (Run) trials on different days, with 2-3 days apart. Exercise on a treadmill was started from initial stage of 3 min (3.0 k/m in Walk trial, 5.0 km/h in Run trial), and the speed for walking and running was progressively every minute by 0.5 km/h. The changes in metabolic variables, heart rate (HR), and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during exercise were compared between the trials.[Results] Energy expenditure (EE) increased with speed in each trial. However, the Walk trial had a significantly higher EE than the Run trial at speeds exceeding 92 ± 2 % of the maximal walking speed (MWS, p < 0.01). Similarly, carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation was significantly higher in the Walk trial than in the Run trial at above 92 ± 2 %MWS in males (p < 0.001) and above 93 ± 1 %MWS in females (p < 0.05).[Conclusion] These findings suggest that EE and CHO oxidation during walking increase non-linearly with speed, and walking at a fast speed causes greater metabolic responses than running at the equivalent speed in young participants.

“…One key approach to increase PA and health across the population is to promote walking for recreation and transport [17][18][19]. Walking is the most common type of leisure-time PA among adults, and is simple, costeffective, and with a strong potential to improve public health [20,21]. Walking speed (WS), measured as the time required to walk a given distance, is a common tool used to assess physical function [22].…”

Background To assess the association between walking speed (WS) and its improvement on hospitalization rates and costs in outpatients with cardiovascular disease. Methods Six hundred forty-nine patients participating in an exercise-based secondary prevention program were studied. Patients were divided at baseline into two groups characterized by low and high WS based on the average WS maintained during a moderate 1-km treadmill-walking test. WS and other covariates were grouped into three domains (demographic factors, medical history and risk factors), and used to estimate a propensity score, in order to create homogeneous groups of patients. All-cause hospitalization was assessed 3 years after baseline as a function of WS. Hospitalization and related costs were also assessed during the fourth-to-sixth years after enrollment. To test whether the hospitalization costs were related to changes in WS after 36 months, a multistrata permutation test was performed by combining within strata partial tests. Results The results support the hypothesis that hospitalization costs are significantly reduced in accordance with an improvement in WS. This effect is most evident among older patients, overweight or obese, smokers, and those without a history of coronary artery bypass surgery. Conclusions The present study supports growing evidence of an inverse association between WS, risk of hospitalization and consequent health-care costs. The joint use of propensity score and multistrata permutation approaches represent a flexible and robust testing method which avoids the possible effects of several confounding factors typical of these studies.
