Abstract: Walking is a form of physical activity which does not require special skills or equipment and is an excellent physical activity for all, regardless of age, weight, or fitness level. Walking can be qualitatively classified as an active form of transportation, a recreative activity as strolling or hiking, a gym routine as walking on a treadmill, and even an athletic event. Quantitatively walking can be categorised as light, moderate, or vigorous, based on effort intensity. Walking can be an important means of maintaining physical and mental health and well-being. Public green spaces and friendly walking sites play a motivator part in the intention and active behaviour of walking practitioners.
