What to know

  • A study covered by Time (Sept 9) finds health benefits from walking faster over short periods, or slower over longer periods, independent of raw step totals.
  • A separate study reported by NPR (Sept 14) finds short bursts of vigorous movement are also linked to longevity, even for people who don't meet daily step goals.
  • Together the reports suggest movement intensity and pace, not just total step count, may be an important factor in long-term health outcomes.
