Speaking about the research, lead investigator Dr Jennifer Reed said: "Patients with coronary artery disease frequently demonstrate diminished functional capacity, low quality of life and increased the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events and mortality. "As to why Nordic walking was beneficial, Dr Reed explained: "Nordic walking engages core, upper and lower body muscles while reducing loading stress at the knee, which may have resulted in greater improvements in functional capacity. "This is a key finding because lower functional capacity predicts higher risk of future cardiovascular events in people with coronary artery disease. "According to the researchers, their study is a leading one in the field.
Tasuki Terada of the University of Ottawa, where the research was conducted, said: "No previous study has directly compared the long-term effects of high-intensity interval training, moderate-to-vigorous intensity continuous training and Nordic walking. "This study is novel in that it simultaneously compared the sustained effects (i.
