A new study says playing 18 holes is just as good, and maybe better, as brisk walking for cardiovascular health in older adults.
Feb. 7, 2023 -- Golf lovers, listen up: You're getting plenty of exercise — if you walk, that is.
“[Golf] can be recommended for healthy older adults as a means to prevent cardiovascular diseases and to improve cardiometabolic health for those already suffering from a cardiovascular disease," says Kettinen, who is also a professional golf instructor.“I hope that our study will encourage people to play golf by walking and reap the health benefits that come with it,” she says.
Researchers chose to compare the 1-hour walk with a full round of golf because “we aimed to simulate the real-life exercise patterns of older adults,” she says. All three types of exercise “improve the cardiovascular profile in older adults when performed in a single session, despite differences in duration and intensity,” Kettinen says.
