Oxygen Uptake, Caloric Expenditure, Heart Rate, Rate of Perceived Exertion
A 1997 study showed the increased training effects of Nordic Pole Walking when compared to exercising using a Stationary Bicycle or Regular Walking and you can achieve this increased training effect without experiencing any more exhaustion than regular walking: Here are some additional findings:
- 23% more oxygen uptake,
- 22% higher caloric expenditure,
- 16% higher heart rate response.
Subsequent studies showed similar results.
- Porcari (1997) studies on 32 healthy men and women walking with poles resulted in an average of 23% higher oxygen uptake,
- 22% higher caloric expenditure and
- 16% higher heart rate responses compared to walking without poles on a treadmill.
- RPE values averaged 1,5 units higher with the use of poles and the pattern of responses was similar for men and women.
