Health benefits of Nordic walking; a systematic review
31 Mar 2025
16 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1062 patients and 11 observational studies with 831 patients were identifıed. The current analysis revealed that with regard to short- and long-term effects on heart rate, oxygen consumption, quality of life, and other measures, Nordic walking is superior to brisk walking without poles and in some endpoints to jogging. Nordic walking exerts benefıcial effects on resting heart rate, blood pressure, exercise capacity, maximal oxygen consumption, and quality of life in patients with various diseases and can thus be recommended to a wide range of people as primary and secondary prevention.
