Provodi se na otvorenom prostoru u prirodi te predstavlja vrstu aerobne aktivnosti cikličkog tipa, gdje u odnosu na klasično hodanje, dolazi do veće aktivacije mišića pa samim time i do veće energetske potrošnje. Pozitivni učinci nordijskog hodanja vidljivi su kako na fizičkom, tako i na psihičkom zdravlju samih hodača. Međutim, malo je radova u kojima su istraživani utjecaji nordijskog hodanja na kvalitetu života samih hodača, što ukazuje na potrebu za dodatnim istraživanjem tog područja. Kvaliteta života kao multidimenzionalan pojam, od davnina je bio zanimljiv istraživačima kako za definiranje, tako i za samu procjenu. S obzirom na to, cilj ovoga rada je ustanoviti učinak osmotjednog treninga nordijskog hodanja na kvalitetu života vezanu za zdravlje i motoričke sposobnosti osoba početnika u nordijskom hodanju. Na uzorku od 23 ispitanika, među kojima je 19 žena i 4 muškarca, prosječne dobi 53,3±5,3 godina, visine 171,7±10,1 cm, tjelesne mase 76,4±18,4 kg te indeksa tjelesne mase 25,6±4,0 provedeno je inicijalno i finalno mjerenje gdje je putem upitnika zdravstvenog statusa SF-36 procijenjena kvaliteta života. Putem timed up and go testa i 6-minutnog testa hodanja procijenjena je funkcionalna sposobnost kao i motoričke sposobnosti poput brzine hoda i dinamičke ravnoteže. Program nordijskog hodanja rekreativnog je karaktera, a ispitanici su početnici nordijskog hodanja. Istraživanje je trajalo ukupno 10 tjedana, od čega je 8 tjedana trajao trenažni proces, a tijekom prvog i zadnjeg tjedna provedeno je inicijalno i finalno mjerenje. Rezultati su pokazali da je nakon osam tjedana treninga nordijskog hodanja došlo do poboljšanja određenih motoričkih i funkcionalnih sposobnosti, kao i do kvalitete života kod osoba početnika nordijskog hodanja u odnosu na period prije početka bavljenja nordijskim hodanjem.
Abstract (english) Nordic walking is a type of sports and recreational activity that involves walking with the help of specially constructed poles for Nordic walking. It is carried out in an open space in nature and represents a type of aerobic activity of the cyclic type, where compared to classical walking, there is a greater activation of muscles and thus a greater energy consumption. The positive effects of Nordic walking are visible on the physical as well as mental health of walkers themselves. However, there are few research works investigating the impacts of Nordic walking on the quality of life of walkers themselves, indicating the need for additional research into the area. Quality of life as a multidimensional term has long been of interest to researchers both for defining and for the assessment itself. Considering this, the aim of this study is to determine the effect of eight-week Nordic walking training on the quality of life related to the health and motor skills of beginners in Nordic walking. On a sample of 23 subjects, including 19 women and 4 men, with an average age of 53.3±5.3 years, height of 171.7±10.1 cm, body weight of 76.4±18,4 kg, and body mass index of 25.6±4.0, initial and final measurement was carried out where the quality of life was assessed through the SF-36 health status questionnaire. Through a timed up and go test and a 6-minute walking test, functional ability as well as motor skills such as walking speed and dynamic balance were assessed. The Nordic walking program is of a recreational character, and the respondents are beginners in Nordic walking. The study lasted a total of 10 weeks, of which the training process lasted 8 weeks, and during the first and the last week, the initial and final measurement was carried out. The results showed that after eight weeks of Nordic walking training, there was an improvement in some motor and functional skills, as well as the quality of life in beginners in Nordic walking compared to the period before the start of Nordic walking.
