Walking at a faster pace has been associated with more favorable health advantages and may be linked to a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in adults. A systematic review of 10 cohort studies found that adults who engage in fairly brisk or brisk/striding walking may have a lower risk of developing T2D, independent of the total volume of physical activity or the time spent walking per day. While the study has some limitations and the findings should be interpreted with caution, it may be reasonable to encourage people to walk at faster speeds to increase the health benefits of walking.
