Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to assess the health habits and changes in body composition and exercise capacity as well as blood biochemical parameters of people participating in 14-21-day walking pilgrimages. This type of physical activity can be classified as long-term and multi-stage hiking tours. Among the people participating in the pilgrimage, a significant part of the population are people aged\> 50 years. Moderate physical activity is an important pro-health element, however, it has not been determined yet how long and accumulated activity may affect the health of pilgrims. Suddenly taking up activity and the challenge of walking several hundred kilometres may be a heavy burden for the body, and its effects may have a negative impact on the body. The evaluation of the processes taking place in the body under the influence of this type of physical activity, motivated by religious goals, will expand the scope of knowledge about safety as well as health indications and contraindications for this type of activity. It will also allow identifying adaptive changes and their effects

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

People participating in the walking pilgrimage

People taking part in the study will be healthy people without any existing systemic diseases and musculoskeletal injuries, and will not engage in professional physical activity. The age of the respondents will be in the range of 18-65 years and BMI in the range of 18-39. People who have valid medical examinations will be admitted to the tests, with no contraindications to physical activity.
