Nordic Walking

Medical aspects

● Older people whose sense of balance is getting reduced can walk with greater safety.

● Strain is taken off the hip, knee and foot joints when someone has arthritic problems and after a joint or hip operation.

● Active therapeutic exercises balance the strain on arm, shoulder and backbone muscles, which can lead to an improvement of painful tenseness.

● The strain on the leg muscles is relieved and the oxygen consumption reduced, which means that you can walk a longer distance without getting tired.

● At the same time, the longer distance as an essential form of therapy gives a stimulus which widens the arteries not yet concerned.

● Handicapped persons and persons with a heart disease can exercise their stamina by means of the poles.

● When Nordic Walking is practised on a regular basis, vein problems can be improved in the sense of the muscular pump since the leg muscles are strengthened.
