Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the energy cost of the three types of exercise: walking, New-Exercise-walking, and jogging. Eleven healthy male subjects of their ages of 20's participated in this study. They performed each exercise for five minutes on a treadmill at speeds of 4 and 6 km/h. Oxygen consumption (VO2), HR, SBP/DBP, and cadence were measured. VO2 and HR were both significantly greater for jogging and New-Exercise-walking than for walking at a speed of 4 km/h, but there were no significant differences at 6 km/h. Cadence was the highest for jogging and the lowest for New-Exercise-walking. These results suggest that New-Exercise-walking at 4 km/h is useful in developing physical fitness because its oxygen consumption level is the same as that of jogging.
