Research
In breast cancer survivors, Nordic Walking—especially when combined with the ISA method—led to significant reductions in upper limb circumferences and body water, suggesting its effectiveness in managing post-surgical lymphedema compared to regular walking.
Research
A 12-week Nordic Walking program increased overall leisure-time physical activity and effectively reduced body weight, fat percentage, and leptin levels—outperforming resistance training in improving metabolic health markers.
Research
A 12-week Nordic Walking program combined with vitamin D supplementation improved lipid profiles and physical fitness in elderly women, unlike supplementation alone or no intervention.
Research
Nordic Walking significantly improved adipokine levels, reduced body fat, cholesterol, and liver fat index in men with impaired glucose regulation, showing the most beneficial effects on metabolic syndrome risk factors.
Research
This study found no evidence that Nordic Walking reduces knee joint load compared to regular walking, despite greater hip range of motion and knee flexion angles observed during Nordic Walking.
Research
Nordic Walking competitions combine the spirit of sport with health promotion, offering a unique form of mass recreation that engages diverse age and fitness groups.
Research
Nordic Walking is a simple, low-cost, and effective lifetime physical activity that can be successfully integrated into school programs to improve students' health, motor skills, and engagement in outdoor movement.
Research
This study explores how regular Nordic Walking affects mental well-being and how socio-ecological factors influence participation, offering new insight into the activity’s psychological and environmental dimensions.
Research
This conceptual study explores Nordic Walking as more than physical activity—revealing its role in shaping identity, performing public space, and creating a sense of place.
Research
A 12-week supervised Nordic Walking program improved walking ability and enhanced antioxidant protection in patients with intermittent claudication, reducing oxidative lipid damage.
Research
This study confirms that Nordic Walking imposes a significantly higher cardiovascular and metabolic load than natural walking—without increasing perceived effort—making it an effective and accessible fitness activity.
Research
This study found that Nordic Walking generates higher ground reaction forces and shock impacts compared to regular walking, particularly at heel strike, highlighting biomechanical implications for health and injury prevention.
