Comparing Energy Consumption During Walking And Jogging
Greiwe and Kohrt researched energy consumption during jogging and walking to compare functional and personal reactions throughout routine jogging and walking at varying velocities. The participants in the study were young women who were physically fit. This study was done to solve conflicting ideas over the burning of calories in walking equated to running. They measured the maximum amount of oxygen consumed during unremitting routine tests to fatigue. The heart rate was stimulated to about 70% of the age-predicted heart rate during the warm-up sessions by slowly adjusting the routine's speed (Greiwe and Kohrt). They measured the air breathed out and obtained evidence of highest oxygen uptake when; oxygen consumption remained constant with an increase in the greatness of exercise or when the heart rate was ten beats per minute of the earlier measured age-predicted heart rate. They also ensured that walking and jogging were counterbalanced during the exercise session until each of the subjects presented perceived exhaustion, after which blood samples were taken for laboratory examination. They ensured all conditions were held constant during the three-week study period. They calculated estimated energy consumption during thirty-minute exercises. They also analyzed the participants' plasma lactates during the sessions.
They found out that out of the fifteen participants, five who were less fit were unable to complete three five-minute- fast walking exercises; one failed at the 8.8 km/hr. Stage. Two at 9.6 km/hr. And consequently eight at the 10.4 km/hr. Stage. Oxygen consumption during walking was curvilinear instead of the earlier projected linear. During jogging, however, the oxygen consumption was linear when plotted. Energy consumption was found out to remain relatively constant when oxygen consumption increased linearly. Jogging speed did not affect energy consumption; on the contrary, walking speed did affect energy consumption. Heart and respiratory rates were higher in walking than jogging. "Subjects subjectively rated their exertion during walking significantly greater as compared to jogging across the range of overlapping routine speeds" (Greiwe and Kohrt 29). There was a significant increase in plasma lactate concentrations with the increase in speed. This study shows that walking at a speed of about or more than 8 km/hr. is better than jogging . However, many individuals fail to realize that jogging at that speed ensures constant energy consumption compared to walking at that speed, which shows an increase in energy consumption. This increase in energy consumption is attributed to the increases in; plasma lactate concentration, heart rate and, respiratory rate.
