Brown, D., Gray, P. M., Doherty, J., & Simpson, E. E. A. (2024). The Effectiveness and Perceptions of Three Moderate Intensity Walking Cadence Aids and their Effects on Affective States: a Mixed Methods Study. International journal of exercise science, 17(5),

Substantial health benefits can be derived from walking at a moderate intensity cadence. To help regulate this cadence three distinct aids exist 1) self-perception; 2) cadence prescription; 3) auditory cues. This study aimed to compare the effectiven...
