Abstract :Nordic Walking (NW) is a low-cost, easy-to-apply, and safe exercise method that has positive effects, especially on cardiovascular and cardiometabolic diseases. This technique benefits cardiovascular dysfunctions such as coronary artery disease, arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, peripheral artery disease, and heart failure. Additionally, it has been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiometabolic disorders like impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Studies recommend NW training programs typically performed two to three times a week, for 1 hour per session, and lasting at least 3 months. These regular applications improve cardiovascular functions and effectively reduce blood pressure. Moreover, improvements in insulin resistance and lipid profiles are observed, along with significant reductions in cardiometabolic risk factors. In conclusion, NW is an effective exercise option that can be integrated into community-based health programs to both enhance physical fitness and improve metabolic parameters. Especially for individuals at cardiovascular risk, the implementation of NW stands out as an important method supporting both health and quality of life.Keywords : Nordik yürüyüş, Kardiyovasküler sağlık, Kardiyometabolik sağlık, Egzersiz, Fiziksel aktivite
