DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL NORDIC-WALKING EQUIPMENT DUE TO A NEW SPORTING TECHNIQUE

Our new equipment differs from the conventional equipment in the construction of the handle and the strap.

The new handle:

● The shape supports the stabilisation of the wrist (20-25° dorsal flexion of the hand; 15-20° radial duktion of the hand). So the exposure at the moment when the pole contacts the ground should permit an insurance of the wrist.
