This study, conducted in real-world outdoor conditions, confirms previous controlled research findings, highlighting NW as an effective outdoor fitness activity.
Research
A 12-week Nordic Walking training program significantly improved lower body strength, gluteus maximus activity, and reduced body mass in women with low bone mass. No significant changes were observed in other lower body muscles or in the control group.
Research
Nordic Walking significantly improves walking distance and reduces leg pain in patients with intermittent claudication – a low-cost, effective alternative to treadmill training.
Research
A 3-month Nordic Walking program in adults with hemophilia showed improvements in physical ability and body perception without increasing bleeding frequency or factor replacement use. The study suggests Nordic Walking is a safe exercise option for this population.
