It's a done deal!!! You start the adventure with Nordic Walking poles :D Congratulations.... only... what now? Where to look for an Instructor? Whether to buy poles in advance? How to dress and what to take with you for the first training? Also, how to exercise to lose weight - do you have to walk every day? Do the poles help with back pain?These and other answers to your first questions right in this video ???
Research
In Nordic, the movements of the arms, feet, hips and the whole body, are similar to those we use when walking briskly.
Research
The study attempted to answer questions about the effects of Nordic Walking on the lower limb muscle pump and the time of filling the veins with blood, and to investigate whether there were significant differences in the parameters discussed in Nordic Walking trainees compared with non-trainees.
Research
Nordic Walking is usually more strenuous than we think. For this reason, the use of heart rate monitors during exercise is advisable, if only for those with a tendency to overtrain themselves.
Research
Nordic Walking is one of the youngest forms of physical activity, which more and more people who want to spend their free time in a healthy and sporty way are interested in. Nordic Walking specialists claim that it is a universal sport: for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level and capacity.
Research
Studies show that lifestyle and attitude play key roles in aging, influencing both lifespan and quality of life alongside biological factors.
Research
A study assessing exercise tolerance in older men, with an emphasis on their physical fitness and rehabilitation potential.
Research
Nordic Walking lowers blood pressure in women over 60 and offers a natural, accessible way to manage hypertension without medication.
Research
Nordic Walking helps reduce anxiety and depression, boosting mental health and social functioning in breast cancer survivors.
Research
Nordic Walking enhances motor skills and walking ability in Parkinson’s patients after six weeks of regular training as part of their treatment.
Research
Nordic Walking activates 90% of body muscles and supports health for all ages and abilities. It’s popular with women and serves as both relaxing recreation and effective rehab exercise.
Research
Nordic Walking boosts endurance and delivers rapid health benefits, including enhanced heart and lung function, muscle strength, blood sugar control, and weight management.
Research
Regular Nordic Walking reduces asymmetrical cervical spine pain and dizziness, while improving the ability to perform daily activities through balanced physical exercise.
Research
Nordic Walking enhances health and fitness for all ages, is injury-free, and motivated by personal wellness. It is especially popular among white-collar workers.
Research
Nordic Walking participants, mostly women aged 51–60, report improved health, coordination, and mood. Their main motivations are well-being, physical activity, and enjoyment.
Research
Physical activity programs improve gait and balance in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Research
Study on the effects of Nordic walking on pain and function in fibromyalgia patients.
Research
A randomized clinical trial comparing supervised and non-supervised Nordic walking in chronic low back pain treatment.
Research
This clinical trial protocol explores the effects of supervised and unsupervised Nordic Walking on pain, physical function, and cardiovascular fitness in patients with chronic low back pain.
Research
Compared to regular walking, Nordic Walking boosts upper body effort and VO₂, especially on flat terrain, and may reduce lower back muscle load during uphill walking by aiding trunk control.
Research
Nordic Walking increases aerobic workout intensity safely for healthy people and those with chronic heart failure, proving to be a well-tolerated exercise option.
Research
This study developed and validated a reliable system to measure poling forces in Nordic Walking, supporting advanced biomechanical and physiological research.
Research
Compared to regular walking, Nordic Walking raises cardiovascular and upper body effort while lowering lower limb strain, making it a balanced full-body workout.
Research
In patients with hip osteoarthritis, JS Nordic Walking reduces pelvic rotation and muscle overuse, suggesting it could improve walking function and reduce limpness.
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.
