FFS, no. Obviously walking is good for you. They were merely studying the adaptation of the human body, in particular metabolism. They are literally adapted or accustomed to walking and their body optimizes to that. The body more or less trends to an average caloric consumption regardless of your activity level. obviously working out or strenuous activity seriously increases caloric consumption but the more you do it the better your body gets at it, more efficient which lowers caloric requirements.
