Adherence

Faster walking pace is associated with less erratic sinus patterns, as indicated by a higher short-term fractal scaling exponent (DFA1) and lower Poincaré ratio, in older adults.

Walking at a faster pace is associated with more organized heart rhythm patterns in older adults. Try to walk briskly as part of your daily routine.

GoodSupportsHIGH confidence

Greater walking pace was also associated with a higher short-term fractal scaling exponent (Ptrend=0.003) and lower Poincaré ratio (Ptrend=0.02), markers of less erratic sinus patterns.
