New research has revealed that it is not only the number of daily steps that helps reduce the risk of early death, but also the pace at which one walks.
The study shows that people who walk with greater intensity or speed obtain additional health benefits compared to those who merely reach a certain number of steps without attention to how they do it.
This discovery suggests that the quality of aerobic exercise, and not just the quantity, plays an important role in the prevention of premature deaths.
