Recent years have seen a worldwide increase in people participating in Nordic Walking with a heavy concentration in Northern Europe. This trend has led to abundant research in Nordic Walking. In these preliminary studies, however, whether the conclusions that this type of exercise is effective in reducing load on the lower limbs has been contradictory. To clarify the effects of reducing load on lower limb joint on Nordic Walking, this study measured the load on lower limb joints during Nordic Waling on a level surface with three test conditions (free walking, speed constraint, speed and stride length constraint). Results revealed no significant differences between Nordic Walking and Ordinary Walking with speed constraint, speed and stride length constraint. Additionally, the effects of joint load resulting from difference of stride length were clarified.
