Abstract: 

This paper analyzes the implementation of Nordic walking in the physical education curriculum for students of a special medical group at Pavlov First Saint Petersburg State Medical University. The study presents a comparative assessment of students’ functional status before and after training, focusing on heart rate indicators, vital lung capacity, anxiety levels, and movement coordination. Results demonstrate that regular Nordic walking significantly improves somatic and psychoemotional health indicators, supporting its inclusion in medical university programs for students with health limitations.
