Cycling Burns More Than Double the Calories of Walking—and Other Differences Between the Two Workouts - https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/cycling-burns-more-than-double-the-calories-of-walking-and-other-differences-between-the-two-workouts/ar-BB1qYNgG?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=HCTS&cvid=b7ad295571fc4c1c90a0d6de8d72c35b&ei=14

Joint Impact

Joint impact with walking is greater than joint impact with cycling, McDowell says. “When walking, you experience greater forces on your body. This includes the force of gravity pushing down on your entire body weight, as well as a force called ground reaction force, which is essentially the force of the earth pushing back up against your body,” she says.

On the contrary, when cycling, you are offsetting some of these forces because you maintain a seated position with a portion of your bodyweight in your arm/hands on the handlebars, McDowell says. This reduces the load on the lower body, so large joints like hips, knees, and spine receive comparably less impact.

VO2 Max

In healthy but untrained individuals, regular walking at moderate intensities can lead to a modest improvement in VO2 max. However, the VO2 max benefits of cycling can be greater than the VO2 max benefits of walking, because cycling can generally be performed at a higher intensity for longer durations than walking, McDowell says.

“It’s a lot harder to create progression with walking, because there’s a limited capability to increase before it turns to a running cadence,” McDowell says. Cycling, on the other hand, lends itself to higher intensities for longer periods of time, thus it creates more room for improvement than walking does.
