Duže ili kraće šetnje: Šta je bolje za srce
Duža šetnja svakog dana je bolja za vaše srce nego mnogo kratkih, posebno ako ne vežbate mnogo, pokazuje istraživanje objavljeno u časopisu Annals of Internal Medicine.
TL;DR
- Longer daily walks are more beneficial for heart health than many short walks.
- An ideal continuous walk is at least 15 minutes, equivalent to approximately 1,500 steps.
- The 10,000 daily steps goal originated from a marketing campaign, not scientific research.
- A British study of over 33,000 adults aged 40-79 showed that longer walking durations were associated with reduced risk of heart disease and mortality.
- Even among less active individuals (under 5,000 steps daily), longer walks made a significant difference.
- Researchers highlight that 'how' one walks (duration of continuous activity) is as important as 'how much' one walks.
- The UK's NHS recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly, ideally spread out.
- Safety tips for walking include wearing bright clothing and being aware of surroundings.
