The present findings summarized in the paper do not consider walking as a mere part of usual physical activity of an individual. Walking is understood as a significant tool that contributes to decreasing the impacts of contemporary negative trends in the society including their combinations (prevalence of lifestyle diseases, level of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and others). In the publication the authors emphasize the comprehensive nature of addressing walking. The authors further present the outcomes of their research study supported by the Czech Science Foundation. The core of the study was to assess the influence of a specific walking model based on active transport to/from work. The study is based on the specifics of Czech cities and towns and corresponds with the environmental behaviour model. In the Czech Republic the effect of walking to/from work has been addressed for the first time.

The book tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise - to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, the author recounts how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. Drawing on insights from biology and anthropology, the author suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather that shaming and blaming people for avoiding it

The Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise (LiFE) program is a way of reducing the risk of falls by integrating balance and strength activities into regular daily tasks. Unloading the dishwasher becomes an opportunity to improve strength. Brushing your teeth becomes an opportunity to improve balance. In the LiFE program, every daily task becomes an opportunity to improve balance and strength. This is a different approach to a traditional program where you would be required to complete a series of exercises a certain number of times a day for a set number of days each week. The trainer's manual outlines the principles of the LiFE program and provides a step-by-step guide for therapists and trainers to implement the program with their clients. It should be used in conjunction with the participant's manual so that the program is fully understood from both the trainer's and participant's perspectives.
