![]() Regardless of your pace, walking is one of the most well-researched ways to boost your mood, lift your energy levels, and stave off a variety of illnesses, according to science. Walking has evidence-based benefits for mental and physical health as well as longevity Determine whether a single definition for brisk walking could apply to a majority of individuals. "In this study we used information contained in people's genetic profile to show that a faster walking pace is indeed likely to lead to a younger biological age as measured by telomeres," Tom Yates, senior author of the study and professor at the University of Leicester said in a press release. ![]() Many fitness experts consider a brisk walking pace to be 100 steps per minute or 3 to 3.5 miles per hour. Researchers compared the 30 most intense minutes of activity in study participants' days and found that, even when the overall step counts were similar, those whose peak speeds were brisk about 90 steps per minute had lower health risks than those whose paces were average. ![]() A new study of genetic data published today (Wednesday) of more than 400,000 UK adults has revealed a clear link between walking pace and a genetic. Your speed is determined, in part, by your fitness level. Researchers found that 10 minutes of brisk walking per day was associated with longer life expectancy, and brisk walkers have up to 20 years’ greater life expectancy than those who walk slowly. The results are significant because while prior research has shown a link between a brisk walking pace and fewer markers of aging, the most recent study suggests walking quickly is the cause of the benefits, according to researchers. Walking at a brisk pace means you'll be walking faster than you would normally. Furthermore, the benefits seemed to be linked to the intensity of the activity, rather than the total number of steps or walking duration. ![]() People with a habitually faster walking pace (more than three miles an hour) were found to have longer telomeres, on average, than their slower-walking peers, according to the data. ![]()
