Abstract		The sample of testees represented a group of 29 healthy women, aged 48 (+/- 2 years) and who were not engaged in any sport. 15 of them were placed in the experimental and 14 in the control group. Prior to initiating the experimental exercise program, all the testees completed a preliminary 2000 m walk test at the athletic field in Ljubljana. In addition, we have measured the time the testees have walked the 2000 m distance. After this preliminary test, a four-week individually adapted program of walking has started. Protocol: Friday: TEST1 - 2000 m walk. Week 1: Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 45 minutes of walking at a maximum of 70% heartbeat frequency /FSU) that was measured at the initial test (mFSUTI ). Week 2: Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 60 minutes of walking at 70% mFSUTI . Week 3: Monday 60 minutes of walking at 70% mFSUTI , Wednesday 30 minutes of walking at 80% mFSUTI , Friday 60 minutes of walking at 70% mFSUTI , Saturday 30 minutes of walking at 90% mFSUTI . Week 4: Monday 45 minutes of walking at 70% mFSUTI, Wednesday 30 minutes of walking at 90% mFSUTI, Friday 30 minutes of walking at 90% mFSUTI, Saturday 60 minutes of walking at 60% mFSUTI . Monday: TEST2- 2000 m walk in the pace of TESTI We have measured the morning FSU and the FSU between both tests. Results. The FSU measurements while resting that were taken in both groups in the first week have shown that differences between the experimental and the control group are not statistically characteristic (P= 0,096). In the fourth week however, these differences have become statistically characteristic. The final test (TEST2) results have shown statistically characteristic differences hear rate values in individual sections of the 2000m walk. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
