NORDIC WALKING TECHNIQUE
BASIC TECHNIQUE
- The walker must walk with two Nordic Walking poles, doing an alternating movement of feet and arms. First step: right foot and left arm/pole. Second step: left foot and right arm/pole, etc.
-The walker must walk with one foot and one pole in permanent contact with route or track.
-The walker must not lower his/her center of gravity.
EXERSTRIDER TECHNIQUE
Tom Rutlin (USA) founded EXERSTRIDER technique in 1988.
EXERSTRIDER technique has been the nordic walking technique of some North American competitions (USATF-IAAF).
TECHNIQUE
-Height of the Nordic Walking poles
At the waist level (arms in 100º approximately).
-Where putting the first pole (1 - image TOM RUTLIN)
Beside the first foot.
-Arms: amplitude of movement (2 - image TOM RUTLIN)
From the plant of the pole to the torso. The hand does not release the pole.
-Propulsion
EXERSTRIDER technique reduces the arms movement, so it has less propulsion with the poles.
-Maximum Speed
4:30-5:30 min/km.
EXERSTRIDER technique reduces the arms movement and the propulsion. So, it increases speed.
World Ranking-Nordic Walking (WR-NW) recognizes EXERSTRIDER technique.
