Considering Aided System to Support Active Walk for Our Health

Abstract

Faced with rapidly aging society, there are no exercise training regimens broadly available in the field to increase physical fitness and to prevent life-style related diseases for middle-aged and older people. The aim of this paper is to consider an aided system to support active walk for our health, and the effects of exercise intervention on university students. This study revealed that average of walk steps per day, MET(metabolic equivalent) hours per week and volume of fat combustion differed significantly amongst the groups. These findings provide preliminary evidence, which indicates that the intervention programs can contribute to the promotion and improvement of our health.
