In overweight individuals, 7–9 months of low-intensity exercise (walking ~19 km per week at 40–55% VO2peak) significantly increased cardiorespiratory fitness compared to sedentary individuals. Together these data indicate that exercise interventions decrease the risk or severity of CVD in subjects who are lean, obese, or have type 2 diabetes.
The body uses different amounts of energy substrates (carbohydrates or fats) depending on the intensity of the exercise and the VO2 Max of the exerciser. Protein is a third energy substrate, but it contributes minimally and is therefore discounted in the percent contribution graphs reflecting different intensities of exercise.
The physical activity level (PAL) is a way to express a person's daily physical activity as a number and is used to estimate their total energy expenditure. [1] In combination with the basal metabolic rate , it can be used to compute the amount of food energy a person needs to consume to maintain a particular lifestyle.
Weight loss depends on genetics, diet, and more, but generally 45 minutes a day, or 150 minutes per week, of walking can yield weight loss, research shows.
Obesity and walking describes how the locomotion of walking differs between an obese individual (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2) and a non-obese individual. The prevalence of obesity is a worldwide problem. In 2007–2008, prevalence rates for obesity among adult American men were approximately 32% and over 35% amongst adult American women. [ 1 ]
