Interval Walking Training
or “Japanese walking,”
is getting renewed attention after going viral on TikTok.
Nearly 20 years ago a team led by Hiroshi Nose and other researchers from Japan published a study that found that
middle-aged and older people who did high-intensity interval walking had lower blood pressure, stronger thigh muscles, and better aerobic capacity than walkers the same age who kept a more moderate, continuous pace.
In the study, the volunteers did three minutes of fast walking followed by three minutes at a slower pace,
for 30 minutes per day at least four days per week.
