The Relation between Energy Expenditure and Walking in a Day for Women

Abstract

In the greater part of past studies on walking, most subjects are men and the objects are toward the most suitable speed, width of step, and number of walking per unit time. It is not the relation between number of walking steps and energy expenditure in a day. So I studied on this relation. The subjects were equipped with a pedimeter and recorded time study on the same day.
For woman, walking in a day is 8, 000 steps or so. Relation between the number of walking steps and energy expenditure in a day is low, but it is high on occupational difference.
Worth of labor (RMR×t) of walking controls energy expenditure, but influence of worth of labor at sitting or standing is very small.
