Abstract

Whether it is a stroll on a sunny day, walking to and from work, or walking
down to the local shops, the act of putting one foot in front of the other in a rhythmic manner is as much human nature as breathing, thinking and loving. This
Walking and Health special issue of the British Journal of SPorts Medicine (BJSM) celebrates the 21st anniversary of Morris and Hardman’s seminal Walking to Health review published in 1997.
