0607 - Received DRT 1 from Pam
0608 -
060801 - Pam's cover letter indicates a conclusion she makes from an extracted
060802 - article she submits.  This relates to discussions we have had on the
060803 - relative merits of walking and running to achieve and maintain good
060804 - health.
060805 -
060806 - The attached article indicates it is:
060807 -
06080701 - Adapted from a series of articles published in the Hope Health
06080702 - Letter, copyright 1989, The Hope Heart Institute.  Used with
06080703 - permission.

060809 - The critical points in this article are:
060810 -
06081001 - Health experts are touting the benefits of walking.  In some cases,
06081002 - they say, walking may be more effective than jogging when it comes
06081003 - to burning calories. [para 2]
06081004 -
06081005 - ... you'll be burning more calories than those legions of joggers
06081006 - whose lower extremities are subjected to potentially harmful
06081007 - pounding on the pavement.
06081008 -
06081009 - ...Casey Myers, author of "Aerobic Walking," cites treadmill tests
06081010 - where walkers doing 12 minute miles (five mph) use more oxygen and
06081011 - burn more calories than joggers going the same speed. [para 5]
06081012 -
06081013 - ...Thus, the walker gets better exercise results than the jogger -
06081014 - with less risk of injury. [para 8].

060812 - Analysis
060813 -
06081301 - These arguments are the same as those in a prior article Pam
06081302 - sumbitted, ref SDS 1.  Possibly this is a re-publication of the
06081303 - prior material.  Since it offers nothing new, there is no apparent
06081304 - basis to revise the previous conclusion.
06081305 -
06081306 -
060814 -
060815 - Sent reply with copy of prior analysis, ref DIT 1.  Submitted copy
060816 - of SDS Theory, and asked for her comments.
