Nu ajungi la 10.000 de pași pe zi? Detaliul care poate compensa numărul mai mic • Newsweek România

A recent study indicates that walking fewer than 10,000 steps daily can still yield health benefits if done at a brisk pace. Researchers analyzed data from over 64,000 adults, revealing that a faster walking speed can reduce mortality risk similarly to a higher step count at a slower pace. Participants were categorized based on their daily steps and walking intensity, with findings suggesting that a brisk pace of around 80 steps per minute can significantly lower the risk of premature death. The study challenges the 10,000-step guideline, emphasizing that individual fitness levels and walking speed are crucial for health benefits. Consistency in activity patterns over time is essential for achieving these benefits.
