WHO guidelines recommend walking to increase moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
The guidelines cite walking briskly at 2.5 to 4 miles per hour, playing volleyball or raking leaves as moderate-intensity activity.
Currently, there are no accurate rehabilitation guidelines for walking recovery after hip fracture.
These targets are based on international guidelines for walking interventions [ 52].
A ten point higher Street Smart Walk Score was associated with a 17%% higher odds of meeting physical activity guidelines through walking outside (95 % CI: 1.07,1.27).
We included interaction terms in the multivariable models to assess any effect modification by income on the association between walkability and meeting physical activity guidelines by walking outdoors.
In the models using the Walk Score categories, respondents living in a 'Walker's paradise' had three and half times the odds of meeting guidelines through walking outside, compared with those living car dependent neighbourhoods (OR = 3.57; 95 % CI: 1.62,7.87).
In adjusted models (Table 2), a ten-point increase in Street Smart Walk Score was associated with a 17%% increase in the odds of meeting physical activity guidelines through walking outdoors (OR = 1.17; 95 %CI: 1.07,1.27).
The purpose of the study was to measure walking-related energy expenditure during field testing, to identify step-rate cut-point associated with moderate and vigorous intensity and to translate physical activity guidelines into walking goals for Chinese young adults.
The purposes of this study were: (1) to identify step-rate threshold associated with moderate and vigorous intensity activity for Chinese young adult and (2) to translate PA guidelines into walking recommendation for Chinese young adults.
