Walking your way to less sitting: new study tests two easy programs for seniors
NCT ID NCT06023680
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study compares two walking programs in 60 older adults at risk of frailty. One program gradually builds up to a single 30-minute walk each day, while the other spreads three 10-minute walks across the day. The goal is to see which approach makes it easier to replace 30 minutes of sitting with light walking, and whether this leads to less fatigue, stress, and better overall health.
