    Review: Scientific Evidence on Nordic Walking 1.Studies Related to Health

    October 1, 2007 Dr. Raija Laukkanen INWA Scientific Advisor Review: Scientific Evidence on Nordic Walking This paper reviews 52 scientific articles published on Nordic Walking in years 1992-2006. Papers or results with at least English abstract are included. Studies are classified according to the target group into four categories: 1. Nordic Walking studies related to health and healthrelated fitness (done on sedentary, on elderly individuals or in patients) 2. Nordic Walking studies related to fitness (done on physically active individuals) 3. Nordic Walking studies related to sports type of performance (done on athletes) 4. Other (done on various groups, reviews, fitness assessment, safety and popularity of NW) References of all studies are listed in alphapethical order. 1. Studies related to health First research results on responses to pole walking training were published in 1992 by Stoughton, Larkin and Karavan from the University of Oregon. They studied psychological profiles (mood states) as well as muscular and aerobic fitness responses before and after 12 weeks of exerstriding or walking training in sedentary women. Exertriding is a modified form of walking that incorporates the use of specially designed walking sticks (Exertriders) in a standard walking workout. This study group consisted of 86 2050 year old women whose fitness was at moderate level. Maximal aerobic power (VO2max) varied between 3437 ml/kg/min. A study group was divided into three subgroups. Control group retained all their exercise habits. Walking and Exertrider groups walked 3045 minutes four times a week at an intensity corresponding to 7085 % maximum heart rate for twelve weeks. In Exertrider group both the walking speed and the distance walked were slightly less than in the walking group.
