My take...

EVERY BODY should walk 🚶

I program walking for my pro athletes, even though their heart rate will barely break 60bpm! 🫀

Why?

There are 2 basic types of fitness - cardiovascular fitness and metabolic fitness.

For many recreational athletes (VO2max < 50ml/kg/min) walking *does* offer a sufficient cardiovascular demand to force the heart to expand and deliver more O2 to the muscles and improve cardiovascular fitness. It's, IMO, underutilized as a cardiovascular stimulus for many in this regard.

However, for very well trained athletes, with a huge heart and massive potential for cardiac output, 60bpm will do nothing for cardiovascular fitness. It's just not a challenge at all to their system to get that measly amount of O2 to the muscles.

But...

Even a simple walk requires energy.

For athletes who challenge their glycogen stores on the regular with hard training, you know where this energy is going to come from? Fat. 🔥

Therefore, even a simple walk serves as an important metabolic stimulus to the body to keep that fat-burning furnace cranking. In this way, it offers important complementary benefits to the "serious" training on the metabolic side of the health and fitness equation.

IOW, I don't care how fit you are, you should still spend a lot of time walking.

Important - a meta-analysis of 53 studies finds that resistance training not only boosts physical fitness in school-age kids but also enhances their cognition, academic results, and classroom behaviour. ( We need physical activity every day in schools secondary and primary )

@DeasunO @irishscnetwork @UKSCA @NSCA @the_ASCA @basesuk Brilliant tread Des, thanks for sharing. The relationship and communication aspect of our role is so important and isn’t taught enough for coaches early in their career in my opinion.
