To exercise at a lower pace healthier than making them very hard, say scientists from the Netherlands. For those who regularly walk long distances in a calm pace, increasingly improving metabolism When compared with people who every day for an hour doing intense exercise. In both cases approximately the same amount of spent calories .

Researchers Maastricht University   We held a special work on in order to determine the effectiveness of different modes of physical activity. The study involved 18 volunteers Whose age was equal to 19 to 24 years. All participants had normal weight.

In the process, the researchers looked at the effect on human health are three different modes of propulsion. The first mode assumes that all people stay at home for 14 hours a day and it does not perform any exercise. In the second mode, the volunteers practiced sedentary for 13 hours each day, and the performance of active hours of training daily. The third mode suggested daily walking for four hours. Another two hours, volunteers had to stay on his feet. Investigating the health of people who adhere to these conditions, the researchers analyzed blood parameters, as well as a measure of sensitivity to Insulin   and content lipids . The last two figures may indicate a risk obesity   and Diabetes That is, diseases associated with metabolism.

It was found that the performance of lipids and cholesterol slightly improved in those people who are trained intensively for one hour a day. A more noticeable improvement in these parameters was observed among those who engaged in walking, that is, practicing physical activity for an extended period of time.

The study authors conclude that active walking, finding a long period on the legs and other non-intensive and prolonged physical activity make it possible to significantly improve a metabolism in comparison with the other two modes to try. If you use energy wisely and follow the diet, the duration of the load of low intensity are preferred for maintaining health.
