If you are wondering about getting a pet dog, here is another reason to do it, and the journal of physical activity. health research shows that dog owners are 34% more likely than they need in the exercise of its sovereign rights to the owners.


For information about using the 2005 Michigan behavioral risk factor Survey, researchers keep track of the 5,900 people, 2,170, owned by dogs and found that dog owners who took their pets (defined as at least 10 minutes long) to use the regular walks in the middle of tottumukset60% of the minimum requirements are met the Federal exercise of moderate or severe. Nearly half of the dog walkers for 30 minutes per day spent at least five days a week. Among the third used the only dogs in the air that regularly.


What is more, dog walkers received more exercise walking the dog in the rest of the public — — compared with people without dogs. They participated in physical activity, such as dancing, gardening, and playing sports, free time and received on average 30 minutes more to use per week.

The results of previous research findings support that benefits the health of the dogs were found in the rights of ownership. The New York Times well blog, which is rounded up to the recent observations post Tara Parker-Pope reported this week:



From the University of Missouri study last year showed that the use of dogs to the obtaining of better walking companions than humans. 12-week investigation, the older adults assisted by a 54-year-old living at the home of some of the selected friend, or the spouse of the walk, while others took a companion on the bus every day to the local animal shelter, where they were to walk the dog.


-Dog walkers showed a surprise to researchers in a much greater improvement of the fitness centre. Walking speed among dog walkers increased by 28%, only 4% of the items are distributed evenly among all the human walkers.


Dr. Johnson, lead author, said the investigation, that the human walkers often complained about the heat and spoke to each other, but that ran out of people, who were paired with the dogs they are excuses not to do.


Yet as the Michigan study, not everyone who owned the dogs walked by and even many dog walkers do well ramp activities. Although two-thirds of the dog owners walked their dog walkers, around half of the walk is not long enough or often enough to provide for a period of not less than 150 minutes per week of physical activity for at least a moderate Walking — a recommendation. Some people do not walk the dogs at all, mostly because the dogs ran free on the outside of their own way.


The researchers also found that younger people or better educated more likely to walk to their dogs as they are older than 65 or less than a college degree. People walked more often than younger dogs old and big dogs (or 45 lbs.) for longer than the smaller.
