Coronary Disease

Before starting Nordic Pole Walking, consult with your doctor first, to ensure you are ready to get active. Several clinical studies that took place between 1996 and 2005 have shown that Nordic Pole Walking is a safe and effective exercise for people with heart bypass surgery, angioplasty or for cardiac rehabilitation.

Study: Walter et.al.,1996:

• group of 61yr. men with heart bypass surgeries, angioplasty procedures, heart attacks where NPW was found to be a safe and effective exercise.

Study: Wilk et..al, 2005:
