Speed and duration of walking and other leisure time physical activity and the risk of heart failure: a prospective cohort study from the Copenhagen City Heart Study.

There was a clear trend in declining heart rate, an indicator of physical fitness, from the sedentary to the moderate/highly active participants and with increasing speed of walking in both genders (all age-adjusted test for trend <0.001) whereas heart rate did not differ between groups defined by walking duration (age-adjusted test for trend >0.10).
