People's walking speed is an important indicator of physical health, especially for the elderly, because most of the muscles in the body are required to participate in walking, and they also need the support of various systems of the body, not the respiratory system, nervous system, circulatory system, etc.;
Only these parts are all cooperated, in order to walk normally, in fact, in daily life we can also see that some elderly people, some walking or walking like flying, and some have begun to falter, compared with the two, it is obvious that the physical fitness of the two is completely different, the level of health is not the same, so for the elderly, walking fast and slow can also see the physical condition.
Generally speaking, people's walking speed is 90cm/s, if the speed per second is less than 60cm, it means that your muscles have been severely atrophied;
At this time, you need to go to the hospital to check whether you have sarcopenia, if your walking speed is less than 60 cm/s after you are old, then the probability of your death will also increase.
