The psychological profiles before and after 12 weeks of Pole Walking

A study at the University of Wisconsin measured the psychological profiles before and after 12 weeks of walking or Exerstrider training in adult women. This study concluded that Exerstrider showed significant improvements in depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, total mood disturbances, and total body-cathexis scores greater than just walking. Also, during Exerstriding, the use of both arms and legs working in opposition to each other (cross-patterning) may have stimulated a greater number of nerves and muscles, creating a more rhythmical and tranquil exercise.
