85% Informative

Researchers at the University of Milan measured the oxygen and energy demands of short strolls versus longer walks.

Walking or climbing stairs in 10- to 30-second bouts required 20 to 60% more oxygen than covering the same distance in one continuous session.

Walking is more efficient after several minutes in motion.
