Brisk Walking Can Lower Risk of Heart Rhythm Problems, Study Finds

Walking is a simple and accessible form of exercise that can have numerous benefits for your health. A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Glasgow in the UK suggests that brisk walking could lower your risk of developing heart rhythm problems.

The study, which looked at data from the UK Biobank, found that individuals who walked at an average speed of 3-4 miles per hour were 35 percent less likely to develop heart rhythm abnormalities compared to slow walkers (those going under 3 miles per hour). For brisk walkers (over 4 miles per hour), the risk dropped by 43 percent.

Heart rhythm abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, and bradycardia were included in the study’s findings. The researchers also noted that walking pace had a significant impact on reducing the risk of these conditions.

“This study is the first to explore the pathways between walking pace and arrhythmias and suggests that metabolic and inflammatory factors may play a role,” said Jill Pell, a public health scientist at the University of Glasgow.

By analyzing data from over 400,000 middle-aged adults, the researchers found that spending more time walking at an average or brisk pace was associated with up to a 27 percent reduction in overall risk of heart rhythm problems.

The study also found that walking faster can reduce the risk of obesity and inflammation, which in turn lowers the risk of heart rhythm abnormalities. This association between walking pace and cardiovascular health protection was particularly strong for women, individuals under 60, those with high blood pressure, non-obese individuals, and those with multiple health conditions.

While observational studies like this one cannot establish direct cause and effect, they provide valuable insights into the relationship between walking speed and heart health. Walking at a brisk pace has been shown to have positive effects on metabolic factors and overall well-being.

The research, published in Heart, reinforces the importance of incorporating brisk walking into your daily routine to improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart rhythm problems. So, the next time you go for a walk, consider picking up the pace to reap the maximum benefits for your heart.
