Abstract:

Based on a number of scientific researches, we can quite confidently say, that regular physical activity is getting more and more important during aging. This also applies to people with disabilities.

Nordic Walking was developed from Cross-Country Skiers’ off-season training activity. It can be seen as enhanced walking where the object of the activity is to involve muscles in the upper body to add greater intensity to the level of exercise; all while reducing the impact on the legs compared with running.

Gymstick is a functional resistance training tool, developed originally in Finland in 2003. The idea was to combine two fitness tools together: the exercise stick and exercise band and the result was the Gyimstick fitness tool.
