The application of sticks makes from Walking a training in which, in addition, the musculature of the upper part of the body is claimed. Nordic Walking is suitable for ambitious sportsmen just as for uncoached people. The origin of this perseverance sport very much popular currently goes down - infront of the general view - till the 30s years. At that time the cross coutry skiers long-dated looked for a training substitute with the summer.

Then in the 80s the Nordic Walking arose for the first time in the USA, however, could not assert itself as a sport for the masses. Only in the 90th the Nordic Walking about the Scandinavian countries could assert itself all over the world. Today it is a sort of trend sport, just also for older people expresses is interesting.
