Average Walking Speeds This table shows average walking speeds by different age groups and gender.6Note that the average walking speed declines as age increases. The average walking speed for most adults is around 3 miles (4.8 kilometers) per hour. This starts to slow down when as adults age...
Increased variability in older adults may result from slower walking speeds, or possibly from other factors related to aging. We tested whether greater variability in healthy older adults could be attributed directly to slower walking speed. Eighteen healthy older adults (age 72+/-6) and 17 ...
To describe the association between self-selected speeds of walking, and age, maximal aerobic power, and body size, 84 men aged 19 to 66 years were asked t... DA Cunningham,PA Rechnitzer,ME Pearce,... - 《Journal of Gerontology》 被引量: 322发表: 1982年 Speed training with body weight...
Results: Participants with faster baseline walking speeds (HR 0.36; 95% CI 0.22 - 0.60) had a decreased risk of dementia. Those who had a greater decline in walking speed (waves 1 - 2 (HR 1.23; 95% CI 1.03 - 1.47) had an increased dementia risk. Participants with greater baseline ...
There was a significant tendency for people living in wealthier regions to have slightly higher walking speeds (Fig. 3). Nevertheless, this gap was eliminated at higher ages. There was no significant interaction between age and regional wealth for either women or men (Tables 2 and 3 Model 3)...
To conclude, our analyses show a robust and statistically significant elevation in MCoW of OA over YA when walking at comparable speeds. However, it cannot be determined on the basis of the literature whether this elevation is caused directly by age or is caused by age-related confounders. This...
(Supplementary information). Secondly, over ground walking at a self-determined, non-fixed, walking speeds allows for changes in walking speed during each walking trial. This makes it difficult to distinguish the effect of walking speed from the other concurrent task like texting. To address this...
Peoples' walking efficiency declines as they grow older, posing constraints on mobility, and affecting independence and quality of life. Although wearable assistive technologies are recognized as a potential solution for age-related movement challenges,
The demographic data were: age, 27.1 ± 5.8 years; height, 1.7 ± 0.1 m; and weight, 63.5 ± 13.5 kg (mean ± standard deviation). An insole plantar pressure measurement system was used to measure plantar pressures during walking at three walking speeds (...
This paper presents the results of research conducted over 18 months to understand the difference between the normal and the crossing walking speeds of pedestrians at signalized intersections and to determine the effect of seasonality on walking speed, taking into account age and gender. For the ...
