Nordic walking for patients with heart failure


Of different parameters measured, patients improved in the following:
  • They could walk farther than the control group
  • More regularly engaged in physical activity
  • Great right hand grip strength
  • Fewer symptoms of depression

The researchers did not find significant changes in peak aerobic capacity, left-hand grip strength, body weight, waist circumference, or symptoms of anxiety.


The overall conclusion was Nordic walking yielded greater benefits during the 12-week study than standard cardiac rehabilitation care.
