Abstract
Interval walking training (IWT) is a free-living training intervention involving alternating fast and slow walking cycles. IWT is efficacious in improving physical fitness and muscle strength, and reducing factors associated with lifestyle-related diseases. In individuals with type 2 diabetes, IWT improves glycemic control directly through enhanced glucose effectiveness, challenging conventional views on mechanisms behind training-induced improvements in glycemic control. Whereas adherence to IWT in short-term studies is high, ensuring long-term adherence remains a challenge, particularly in populations with chronic diseases and/or overweight/obesity. Long-term studies in real-world settings are imperative to ascertain the widespread effectiveness of IWT and elucidate its impact on hard endpoints.
