Comparison of Energy Expenditure in Walking and Running: An Average Fitness Individuals Study

Comparative Analysis of Energy Expiture in Average Fitness Individuals during Walking vs Running

Objective: The primary m of this study was to compare the energy expiture EE between walking and running activities performed by individuals with an average fitness level. This included assessing EE for both activities at intensities equivalent to a pace of 86 meters per minute for walking and 160 meters per minute for running, as well as quantifying total energy consumption post-exercise.

Participants: The study comprised fifteen females and fifteen males aged 21.90 ± 2.52 years old on average with heights of 168.89 ± 11.20 cm and weights of 71.01 ± 17.30 kg, each having a VO2max test score. They were recruited based on their age range between adolescence to young adulthood.

Methods: Each participant underwent an initial baseline measurement at rest for ten minutes before engaging in either the walking or running activities. The participants then proceeded to complete both tasks of walking and running for 1600 meters, at respective paces that aligned with the predefined speeds mentioned above.

Results:

The energy expiture during exercise was quantified as follows: Walking at a pace equivalent to 86 mmin consumed approximately 372.54 ± 78.16 kilojoules kJ, while running at an intensity of 160 mmin exped roughly 471.03 ± 100.67 kJ.

The total energy expiture encompassing the post-exercise period was also calculated, indicating that after the respective activities were completed, participants had burned a slightly higher amount in the running condition compared to walking.

:

This study found that both walking and running are effective forms of exercise for improving physical fitness. Running, however, is associated with a slightly higher energy expiture during the activity phase itself as well as post-exercise recovery period compared to walking at similar intensities.

Further research could explore how varying intensities or durations of these activities influence their energy expiture profiles. This information would help in tloring exercise programs for individuals based on their fitness levels, preferences, and overall health goals.
