WALKING LIKE A MEANS OF THE
LIFESTYLE CHANGES AND AN
OBESITY REDUCTION
Vaclav Bunc
Charles University, Czech Republic
A
mong people who do exercise, walking is the most popular form of
physical activity. Walking is a weight-bearing form of aerobic exercise
that can be easily integrated into one’s daily life and it is frequently
recommended as a way to help protect against health problems and low
working and leisure capacity. This study summarizes the possibilities of
walking as a toll influencing body composition, aerobic fitness and motor
performance. Following the intervention program lasting five months with a
1000 kcal energy intensity in the senior women, 1500 kcal in middle-aged
men and 2000 kcal for children, composed of at least 85% walking, pointing it
significant changes in fitness and body composition parameters. Body mass
was significantly reduced by 13.6% of obese children and middle-aged men.
On the contrary, senior´s women body mass was increased by 3.1%. Fitness
that was characterized by peak oxygen uptake was improved from 13% (in
senior women and obese children) to 17% (middle age men). Similarly, was
significantly altered the engine performance – the maximal speed of walking
on the treadmill about 11% in senior women and obese children and about
15% in middle aged men. The percentage of body fat was decreased by 1.6%
in senior women and about 16.8% in men of middle age. Together with these
variables were significantly improved the predispositions for physical and
workload evaluated by ECM/BCM coefficient. The lowest mean chase was
found in middle age men (4.8%) and the highest in senior women (10.8%). It
may be that II walking in the range of 7000 these 10000 steps per day is able
to remove the movement in contemporary deficit population, which is due to
present lifestyle and may be used in majority population for improvement of
health predispositions and for improved state of physical fitness.
