Nordic walking at Fukushima - some outcomes
I posted earlier
about Nordic walking as one of the activities used to help rebuild a
community's emotional health. Here is a statement from one of the Red Cross
workers about the outcomes of the activity as people engaged in it:
“When
some of the participants first joined us, they showed obvious signs of
depression,” explained Mr. Mitachi.
“After attending a few sessions, they started looking happy and were
full of energy. It not only makes people feel better mentally it also greatly
improves their general health. The vigorous exercise works the pain out of
their joints. Using the poles softens up their stiff backs and shoulders.”
Nordic walking was
also highlighted in a 5-year progress report for its positive contributions to
psychosocial wellbeing.
