“…the authors showed there were higher energy cost (19%), maximal oxygen uptake (20%) and heart rate (6%) in NW than when walking under the field-testing conditions [9]. On the other hand, Knobloch [14] did not observe any differences in the hemodynamic parameters (heart rate, cardiac output, stroke volume) between NW and conventional brisk walking, without poles, in the field.…”

“…there were three papers that met the inclusion criteria. [3,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], ten papers were on the use of NW in rehabilitation [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] and three items concerned biomechanical aspects of NW [2,30,31]. One publication was a case study of NW used for treating of a sacral stress fracture that resulted from training overload [32].…”

Purpose. the purpose of this study was to analyze scientific evidence on the effects that Nordic Walking (NW) has on the human body. Basic procedures. A comprehensive search of computer databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, cINAHL, and SPORtDiscus) was conducted to identify relevant English and Polish studies on NW that were published from 1995 to 2009 and based on scientific research. Main findings. A total of 26 studies met the inclusion criteria. the majority of studies (12) discussed physiological issues, eleven studies were dedicated to NW as a form of rehabilitation (including one case study), and three studies focused on biomechanical issues present in NW. Conclusions. Not all of the widely promoted benefits of NW were confirmed in the results of the found scientific studies. Often analyzed issues did not provide sufficient explanation. there is a large discrepancy in the results of physiological responses during NW in a variety of conditions (on a treadmill with/without grade; field -uphill/downhill/horizontal level terrain). the results of studies analyzing the effects of NW training as a form of rehabilitation particularly in the areas of cardiology confirmed the positive aspects of including NW towards a patient's rehabilitation after acute coronary syndrome, with intermittent claudication, and after coronary artery disease, or after myocardial infarction. contrary to popular belief and previously done studies, recent research has shown that NW does not reduce the loading of the knee joint.

“…Recently, normal walking and NPW was found to improve similarly health-enhancing physical fitness 1 and no difference in the extent of cardiac output up-regulation at a given level of physical exertion was found. 2 The present authors suggest that NPW might improve cardiovascular fitness in IC patients by an enhanced mood in pole walkers encouraging a more active lifestyle. In summary, the present results are interesting.…”

“…There has been lack of studies assessing LVEF as an effect of NW or walking training programs. Knobloch 41 analyzed the results of walking and NW training in women (mean age = 51 [1] y) and did not find any significant changes in the hemodynamic response (in cardiac output). No major changes would be expected after 12 weeks of walking with or without poles in healthy women with LVEF > 50%.…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Nordic Walking compared to conventional walking on aerobic capacity, the lipid profile, left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass, and body mass index in women over 55 years old. Methods: The study was comprised of 74 women over 55 years of age. Participants were randomized to the Nordic Walking (n = 38) or conventional walking (n = 36) training groups. The echocardiogram, treadmill exercise stress test, lipid profile, and body mass were assessed at baseline (pretest) and after 12 weeks (posttest). Results: The authors found a significant main effect over time in duration (effect size [ES] = 0.59, P < .0001), distance covered (ES = 0.56, P < .0001), peak oxygen consumption (ES = 0.43, P < .0001), metabolic equivalent (ES = 0.29, P < .0001), peak heart rate (ES = 0.2, P < .0001), peak diastolic blood pressure (ES = 0.11, P = .0045), total cholesterol (ES = 0.26, P < .0001), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ES = 0.16, P = .0005). The authors did not observe a time versus group interaction or the effect between groups. Post hoc tests revealed significant pretraining to posttraining differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol after the Nordic Walking training program and in peak diastolic blood pressure after the conventional walking training program. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure at rest, peak diastolic blood pressure, somatic parameters (body mass and body mass index), and left ventricular ejection fraction did not change in either group. Conclusions: Both training programs resulted in increases in aerobic capacity and decreases in total cholesterol.
