Why the study?
Does fast walking elicit an adequate aerobic training stimulus (training heart rate ≥ 70% of maximal heart rate) in 30- to 69-year-old men and women?
Population
353 adults (343 in study 1: 165 men, 178 women; 10 men with high VO2 max in study 2) aged 30 to 69 years.

Fast walking may elicit training heart rates in most adults over 50; hypothesis-generating for aerobic prescriptions, requiring prospective trials.
Does fast walking elicit an adequate aerobic training stimulus (training heart rate ≥ 70% of maximal heart rate) in 30- to 69-year-old men and women?
Fast walking is an adequate aerobic training stimulus capable of eliciting a training heart rate in most adults aged 30 to 69 years.
