Embodiment Construction

[0019] One embodiment of the exercise stick 1 according to the invention is represented in perspective views in FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 1 (a) shows an upper part and FIG. 1 (b) a lower part of the exercise stick 1. An actual stick body 2 is preferably composed of several, e.g. three segments 21 to 23 which in each case mutually engage in a telescopic manner, in order to permit a length adjustment. The mutual position of the segments 21 to 23 may be fixed in a stepless manner by way of locking rings 24, 25 provided with threads. Alternatively, the exercise stick 1 may also comprise other means for the length adjustment and for fixation, such as is known from the state of the art. The stick body 2 could e.g. be composed of two segments and be provided with a collapsing mechanism which permits the two segments to be folded and thus the reduction of the length of the exercise stick 1. In the condition of use, the two segments are connected to one another in a rigid but releasable manner by...

Abstract

Disclosed is an exercise pole (1) designed for athletes such as walkers, roller skaters, or on-road cross-country skiers. Said exercise pole (1) comprises an elongate pole body (2), at one end (12) of which two wheels (41, 42) are mounted that allow the exercise pole (1) to be moved in a directed rolling manner. The wheels (41, 42) are equipped with a return stop (8) that allows the wheel (41, 42) to be rotated in the direction of travel (L) while blocking the same counter to the direction of travel (L) such that pushing off in a forward direction is made possible. The fact that the inventive exercise pole (1) is in permanent contact with the ground allows the athlete to make smoother and more flowing movements while providing him or her with a greater sense of safety.

[0003] Nordic walking is a walking or running with the application of special sticks, which are held in each hand of the athlete. Accordingly, the technique of Nordic walking is equivalent to the execution of movement during c...
