Energy Cost During Prolonged Walking vs Jogging Exercise
Abstract:
In brief: The calories expended and the substrates used by walking vs jogging were compared in nine young men who walked and jogged at 65% maximum heart rate (HR max) (about 125 beats· min(-1)) for 60 minutes and 75% HR max (about 145 beats· min(-1)) for 45 minutes. Jogging utilized more total energy and more fat energy than walking at both intensities. In addition, the men perceived jogging to be less strenuous, and oxygen pulse, an indicator of cardiovascular efficiency, was higher during jogging than walking. Recovery energy use was greatest after jogging at 75% HR max.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
