* p < 0.05. Means ± standard deviations presented as M ± SD. Stride refers to the distance of each step when walking, also known as “step distance”, stride = distance/steps. HR refers to the heart rate. The moderate walking intensity of the older adults about 82 to 111 beats/minute. Sleep refers to the number hours of sleep per night.
