Effects of Nordic walking on cardiovascular performance and quality of life in coronary artery disease.

CONCLUSIONS: A three-week NW training programme had clinically important effects, above and beyond CCVR, on cardiovascular and functional performance in CAD patients. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Nordic walking is an accessible, safe, and effective low-threshold cardiac rehabilitation exercise training modality that seems to be particularly well-suited for people with limited functional and motivational capacities.
