Hypodynamia is the enemy of modern man. The easiest way to deal with it is movement. Even a person who is not distinguished by good health can go in for walking, the simplest form of physical activity. The speed of a person walking on foot at a calm pace depends on his physical condition and ranges from 2.7 to 5 kilometers per hour. As a rule, healthy people move with this speed, passing no more than 5 kilometers per hour. At the same time, several types of walking are distinguished, which are recommended for different categories of people:
1. Walking at a low speed. This category includes movement in which a person makes about 70 steps in one minute. There is no pronounced therapeutic effect, however, for people with cardiovascular diseases, as well as for those who have recently had a heart attack, this is a way out.
2. Medium speed walking. Moving at a speed of no more than 4 km per hour will not have a significant effect on a healthy person, but for people with a weak heart and chronic diseases, this option of aerobic exercise can be a salvation.
3. High speed walking. If you do more than 100 steps per minute, the person’s speed will increase to the average (5-6 km per hour). It is this walking option that gives an excellent training effect when all the muscles of the body are involved in the process. Moreover, such walking is much more useful than jogging, as it is devoid of a traumatic factor.
4. Human speed
walking is significantly different from the speed of a running person. In everyday life, people sometimes have to run. Running is an option that allows you to overcome the distance in a short time, so a person runs if he is late. People also run on purpose: track and field running is a great sport, massive and affordable. To run, just buy the right shoes and tracksuit. Scientists have suggested that the top speed of a person running is 65 kilometers per hour. Of course, during the sprint jerk it is significant, but not constant, and if in the first seconds of running a person can move at a speed of 11 meters per second, then after 30 meters his speed will drop significantly.
The speed of a person while running depends both on his fitness, the purpose of the lessons, and on the track along which he runs
t. For
health running there is no need to increase speed. A measured, elastic running at a low speed (about 10 km per hour) will have an excellent healing effect and will not tire you. The speed of a person when
jogging, with which it is recommended to start training with this type of athletics, does not exceed, as a rule, 9 kilometers per hour. This run option can be recommended even to physically weakened people who have mastered walking and want to try something else.
5. The speed of a person in professional running will be higher. 15-18 km per hour - the basic speed with which the runner overcomes long distances. However, achieving such a result requires considerable physical preparation and lengthy training.
For a person who, for various reasons, does not want to jog seriously to achieve sports records, just walking or jogging (light jogging) every day for half an hour will become a real panacea in the fight against physical inactivity.
