Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this study was to clarify the exercise intensity and effectiveness for two different styles (diagonal style NW: DIA, defensive style NW, DEF) of Nordic walking (NW). The main findings of this study are described below. 1) In physiological responses, triceps brachii muscle activity in DIA was significantly higher than DEF. On the other hand, energy expenditure of DEF was significantly higher than DIA. 2) The exercise intervention by two styles NW in middle-aged and older adults showed that DEF was greater improvement than DIA in lower limb muscle strength and DIA was greater improvement than DEF in dynamic balance and agility. 3) Proficiency in pole handling during diagonal style Nordic walking influences energy expenditure and other factors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
ノルディックウォーキングは中高齢者の健康づくり運動として広く普及してきている。しかし、一口に中高齢者といっても、その体力レベルは様々であり個人差が激しい。わが国では異なる2つの歩行様式のノルディックウォーキングが普及しているが、それらの運動効果の違いは明らかでは無かった。本研究の結果により、ノルディックウォーキングを様々な体力レベルの人々に対した健康づくり運動とするためのエビデンスを示すことができたと考える。
