Abstract:
Exercise of walking which is regarded as a popular aerobic exercise,is receiving increasing attention in recent years,especially for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.But the guidelines and recommendations are based on low evidence levels,lack enough evidence-based support,and cannot provide individual exercise prescription for more specific populations and specific indications.Thus we put forward the concept of quantitative walking exercise,and hope further studies on relationship between walking exercise and chronic diseases so as to develop appropriate exercise prescriptions for prevention and rehabilitation of chronic diseases.
