Benefits of walking for controlling and preventing chronic diseases

By Maxson Ildenio Rodrigues, Ismael Alves Pereira, SILVANIA P. de Aquino

Walking as a form of control and prevention has been used by many people around the world. In order to treat or even maintain health, many walking programmes are currently planned by physical education professionals. Chronic degenerative diseases have become the subject of constant research around the world, and there is a direct relationship between physical activity and the preventive control of these diseases. The majority of people who practise walking do so without professional supervision and in an incorrect manner, which contributes greatly to not achieving the objectives set for the activity. The Lagoa Grande waterfront in Porangatu/GO is a reference point for regular walking, especially at the end of the day, which motivated this research. Walking is a low-cost physical activity that is easily accessible to the general population. Its benefits are many, but if this practice is not accompanied by specific professional training, it could lead to injury. A clear understanding of the subject will bring many benefits to all those who wish to live a healthy and quality life. Happy reading. Cheers
