Why the study?

Does Nordic Walking improve physiological and rehabilitation outcomes in humans?

Structured PICO

Does Nordic Walking improve physiological and rehabilitation outcomes in humans?

P

Population

26 scientific studies published from 1995 to 2009 analyzing the effects of Nordic Walking on the human body, including physiological, rehabilitation, and biomechanical issues

I

Intervention

Nordic Walking (NW)

O

Outcome

Physiological responses, rehabilitation outcomes (especially in cardiology), and biomechanical effects (knee joint loading)

Limitations

Not all widely promoted benefits of NW were confirmed
Often analyzed issues did not provide sufficient explanation
Large discrepancy in the results of physiological responses during NW in a variety of conditions

Implication

Nordic Walking is an effective form of cardiac rehabilitation for patients with coronary disease and intermittent claudication, though it does not reduce knee joint loading as previously believed.
