Professor: You don't need a ten-thousand steps at a time in order to keep fit'

According to the different kinds of apps, pedometers, and lifestylecoaches we would have to be 10,000 steps per day to stay fit and healthy. It works out to be about 7.5 km. But what's the deal with the amount of use. Is it true does it? And are there any other ways to get to your health?

you can Run the 'drug' by our sedentary existence. We are more than ever before, and most of all: to be a long one. After work, going to the gym, lift the zitschade not, " says Maria Hopman, a physician and professor of physiology at the Radboud University nijmegen.

Long periods of sitting have negative effects on your health. Even for those who have a couple of times a week in the evenings to exercise. That is, says the Scoutmaster, as the demand for oxygen and fuel to the inactive muscles while the sitting is very limited. The heart, lungs, and blood vessels will be less and less used muscles and consume very little power. "This means that it increases for long periods of sitting and the risk for diabetes and heart disease."

for 10,000 steps, it is a Japanese invention
so We have to move. But, how are those 10,000 steps in the world of it? According to the British doctor Michael Mosely is coming out of Japan. It was in the mid-sixties, in the run-up to the Olympic Games in Tokyo, the first-step counter has been developed: the Manpo-Kei. "Man" means ten thousand, 'po,' which means steps, and the "expert" for m: a tienduizendstappenteller so.

as The Manpo-Kei, which was the work of dr. Yoshiro Hatano, a young researcher at Kyushu University of Health and Welfare. He was afraid that the Japanese people and the lifestyle of the Americans would take over. He had calculated that the Japanese are slim, it would continue to be if they could persuade every day six go the extra mile to set up. The japanese put in an average four-thousand-steps-per-day. At ten thousand they would have 500 calories of extra burn out. And stay slim.

Three times in ten minutes, it is easy to customize

The tienduizendstappenverhaal it is, therefore, something of a myth? A total myth, it's not, " says Mosely. "Walking is good for us. However, it is, however, the question is whether you will necessarily have a ten-thousand-steps to solve. Personally, somehow, I can not do it every day. And I know a lot of people who didn't survive."

Mosely was wondering if there is an alternative that is just as many health benefits and perhaps even a better fit and fell in it's day to day life. Together with professor Rob Copeland from Sheffield Hallam University, he tried out for the BBC programme, The Truth about Getting Fit.

“Due to the moderate to intense the exercise, your heart begins to beat faster.”

finally, They compared two groups, one group put up a ten-thousand-steps-per-day, and the other is the 'Active 10'. They came out three times a day for ten minutes at a solid pace, a pace at which you're "still able to talk, but not sing." What was the result? The Active, 10-group, it is relatively easy to maintained. In contrast to the ten-thousand-step group, which is one-third of his purpose, not on a daily basis was done.

the results showed that the Active 10-group, a greater demand was made on the capacity of the lungs and the heart. Due to the brisk walking pace they had been much longer and intensely moved, so they get their heart rate up and had to be hunted.

In the Dutch health directives are set on a 10,000-steps < / p> now, of course, That's the health benefit for him in it, " says Hopman. "Due to the moderate to the intense movement is going to make your heart beat faster and the blood flow going. This is very important to make the veins to the heart and lungs are in good shape to keep up." According to Mosely would be Active for 10 or even healthier, than the 10.000 steps.

note that In the Dutch health directives is not set to 10,000 steps. However, that is 150 minutes of moderate to intense exercise. This is just like the Active 10, it is down to thirty minutes a day.

But not necessarily for a walk? Or, for example, is it enough for you that a certain number of minutes per week that gets by in a pace and back to work on your bike? That may be, according to Scoutmaster as well. As long as the heart rate, but it will increase. It is, of course, not forbidden to also have some to run. To move, the following applies: the more, the better. And don't forget, when you work all day and then get up and have a little walk. Every minute is a minute of movement to be an extra.
