<p><b>Strolling</b> is walking along or through at a leisurely pace. Strolling is a pastime and activity enjoyed worldwide as a leisure activity. The object of strolling is to walk at a slightly slower pace in an attempt to absorb the surroundings.
</p><p>Works featuring the <i><a href="Fl%C3%A2neur" title="Flâneur">flâneur</a></i>, French for a “strolling urban observer”, have appeared in European and American literature since the late 18th century.<sup id="cite_ref-Werner2004_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Werner2004-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div>
<p>The verb form of "stroll" may have originated from a c.1600 <a href="Cant_(language)" title="Cant (language)">Cant</a> word. This word may have been derived from the German word <i>strollen</i>, which in itself is a derivative of the German word <i>strolchen</i>, which means "to roam, travel about aimlessly, drift, rove."<sup id="cite_ref-strolchen_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-strolchen-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The German noun <i>strolch</i> refers to any sort of vagabond or rogue.
</p><p>Before the American Revolution, a stroller was the British word for a vagabond.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The noun stroll came from the verb in 1814. The term "stroller" was coined in the 1920s as a "child’s push-chair".<sup id="cite_ref-stroll_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-stroll-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The modern-day usage of the word "stroll" does not differ greatly from its older derivatives.
</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Health_outcomes">Health outcomes</h2></div>
<p>Strolling is not an <a href="Aerobic_exercise" title="Aerobic exercise">aerobic exercise</a>. The body's energy demands whilst strolling do not require extra oxygen.<sup id="cite_ref-FleuryMilfort2004_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FleuryMilfort2004-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Physicians therefore do not recommend strolling, but rather recommend more vigorous and aerobic forms of exercise. The <a href="American_Medical_Association" title="American Medical Association">American Medical Association</a>'s committee on Exercise and Physical Fitness has stated that "walking briskly, not just strolling, is the simplest and also one of the best forms of exercise".<sup id="cite_ref-ReillyBrod2004_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReillyBrod2004-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Researchers investigating the cognitive benefits to exercise have also concluded that strolling results in no significant gains to cognitive health as people age. Brisk walking and other everyday activities, such as house work or gardening, have demonstrated significant benefits to prevention of cognitive decline as the population ages.<sup id="cite_ref-Butler_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Butler-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Other researchers at the Mayo Clinic posit that all activity that is not sleeping, eating, or sports activity still contributes to overall health. This has been named "Non-exercise activity thermogenesis" (NEAT) and includes everything from strolling to fidgeting in the analysis of energy consumption. Utilizing NEAT research has generated many ideas about social design of offices, schools, and living spaces to promote any physical activity, such as removing places to sit to promote standing and pacing.<sup id="cite_ref-NEAT_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-NEAT-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The body operates at a more balanced level when strolling. The heart beat is more balanced. The blood pressure is well balanced.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_traditions">International traditions</h2></div>
<p>In Spain, a stroll is called a <i>Paseo</i> and is a popular after-dinner pastime. The participants, whose membership is egalitarian, wear their best clothing. Activities include chatting with neighbors and acquaintances, flirting, and gossiping.<sup id="cite_ref-Kerr2004_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Kerr2004-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Several streets in countries with a Spanish cultural history incorporate the word: <a href="Paseo_de_la_Reforma" title="Paseo de la Reforma">Paseo de la Reforma</a> in Mexico City, <a href="Paseo_del_Prado%2C_Havana" title="Paseo del Prado, Havana">Paseo del Prado, Havana</a>, <a href="Paseo_de_Roxas" title="Paseo de Roxas">Paseo de Roxas</a> in the Philippines, and Buenos Aires's <a href="Paseo_La_Plaza" title="Paseo La Plaza">Paseo La Plaza</a>.
</p><p>The similar, and widespread custom in Italy for an evening walk is called <i>la passeggiata</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Strolling or walking (<a href="Russian_language" title="Russian language">Russian</a>: гулять, <i>gulyat</i>') is very common in the Russian society. In contrast to many western countries strolling is very common among young people in Russia. Young people often arrange just to go for a walk.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Besides the verb, the experience itself, which describes the time span of the walk, is called <i>progulka</i> (Russian: прогулка).<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Walking is so important in Russian culture that <i>gulyat</i>' also is a synonym for "to party".<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
