Daily walking curbs adverse effects of bedrest in the hospital
As little as 25 minutes a day of slow walking seems to be enough to counter the detrimental physical effects of bedrest on older hospital patients, according to a pooled data analysis of the available evidence. For optimal improvements in physical function, around 50 mins/day of slow walking or around 40 mins of combined physical activities, such as 20 minutes of resistance bands with around 20 minutes of aerobic activity, are the most effective.
