Nordic walking is a physical activity consisting of walking with poles similar to ski poles. The poles are designed for the purpose of activating the upper body during walking. The poles are equipped with rubber or spike tips and the walking itself resembles.
Compared to normal walking in Nordic walking there is a stronger involvement of the upper body. Furthermore, by using the poles, the muscles in the upper body can be activated, and the length of each step taken is supposedly increased, resulting in a faster gait .

| Assessment of gait | The gait parameters will be assessed by kinovea software. Kinovea, free 2D motion analysis software, was created in 2009 via the non-profit collaboration of several researchers, athletes, coaches and programmers from all over the world. It enables the analysis of distances, angles, coordinates and spatial-temporal parameters frame by frame from a video recording. These measurements can be made from different perspectives, since the software carries out calibrations in non-perpendicular planes to the camera-object line analyzed. spatio-temporal parameters will be measured | after 3 successive months |
