Abstract in brief

  • Interval walking training (IWT) involves alternating fast and slow walking to improve health.
  • IWT effectively boosts physical fitness, muscle strength, and helps manage lifestyle-related diseases, including better blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.
  • While people tend to stick with IWT in the short term, maintaining long-term adherence, especially for those with chronic illnesses or obesity, remains challenging, highlighting the need for ongoing research.

Thanks to @CTVLondon & @CTVKitchener for featuring our study on the science behind #JapaneseWalking in @APNMjournal. This trend may be simple, but the evidence is compelling.

@jarvis_best https://t.co/9xhjvrYKY4 People are dunking on this but it’s just a way to get the benefits of walking 10k steps (which takes ~90 minutes for most people) in 30 minutes.
