4th annual Walk for Health

30.06.2014

Promoting healthy and active lifestyle by encouraging nordic walking are the aims of the 4th annual Gdańsk Walk for Health. This event is co-organized by the MUG Department of Cardiology and Electrotherapy and the Gdanńsk University of Physical Education and Sport will take place at noon on Saturday June 28th.

Fast-pace of life, stress and lack of physical activity are the main factors responsible for heart diseases and the resulting high mortality rate, particularly after 40 years of age. Nordic walking is not only beneficial for the cardiovascular system (also among the elderly and people with musculoskeletal ilnesses) but can also strengthen family bonds by doing healthy activities together.
