Research
Nordic Walking combines aerobic benefits with pole-assisted movement. Studies focus on its physiological impact, role in health and rehab programs, and biomechanical comparisons with regular walking.
Research
In Nordic Walking, propulsion relies mainly on lower limb muscles, while upper limbs aid balance. Surface type does not significantly affect pole impulse on the body.
Research
Scientific review confirms Nordic Walking supports cardiac rehab but reveals mixed results in physiology and biomechanics. Contrary to earlier claims, NW may not reduce knee joint load.
Research
Pole walking allows for faster walking with less knee joint stress and lower ground reaction forces. It modifies gait mechanics depending on the pole technique used.
Research
Nordic Walking leads to higher GRF and speed than normal walking, with a metabolic cost similar to running but without high impact—ideal for preventive health strategies like osteoporosis management.
Research
Nordic Walking is a safe, natural, and effective form of physical activity that engages more muscles than normal walking. It shows great potential in physical rehabilitation, especially in early cardiac recovery after myocardial infarction.
Research
A study comparing Nordic pole walking and regular walking found increased upper body muscle activity with poles, while lower limb activation remained unchanged.
Research
60 women participated in a 12-week Nordic walking programme with aerobic training. The intensity was monitored by means of a heart rate monitor.
Research
After four months of Nordic walking, participants with normal glucose tolerance showed improvements in sleep and BMI, with no direct link between the two.
Research
The study highlights the benefits of Nordic walking on balance, postural control, and gait in women over age 65.
Research
The study examined the impact of Nordic Walking on the lower limb muscle pump and venous blood filling time in women aged 61.6 years. It compared 15 physically active women with 15 sedentary counterparts. Results showed better blood outflow dynamics in the Nordic Walking group, highlighting the benefits of regular physical activity.
Research
The study explores the impact of various activities on aging, emphasizing the role of biomedical advancements, gerontology, and lifestyle factors. While aging is inevitable, research highlights that environmental influences and a positive attitude can extend lifespan and improve quality of life.
