Is it easier to lose the extra kilos by running or walking at a brisk pace? After a study conducted for 6 years with 15,237 people who habitually 32.216 walk joggers several times a week, scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California (USA) have shown that we spend less energy walking than running, and the people who habitually exercise on the run are slimmer . The conclusions of the study have been published in the specialized journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise .
According to research, weight loss and variation in Body Mass Index (BMI) can be up to 90% higher for every hour spent running instead of walking, especially in overweight and obese people.
