Nordic walking is a comprehensive form of exercise for every age group and gender, both for people with poor physical condition, as well as high-performance athletes. Using the correct technique of Nordic walking, we engage as much as 90% of the body muscles. The aim of this study was to verify whether the application of short-term (3 weeks) Nordic walking training in any way affect the level of aerobic physical fitness and body composition of young women. The study involved 10 women aged 22-23 years. Nordic walking training was held 3 times a week for three weeks. Training unit time was 60 minutes. Before and after completing the training cycle the level of aerobic physical fitness (Astrand-Rhyming test) and body composition by bioelectrical impedance was assessed.. Even short-lasting, but regular Nordic walking training can cause favorable adaptive changes in organisms of healthy young women. After 3 weeks of training, there was an increase in aerobic physical fitness, a reduction of body weight and percentage content of body fat.
