Abstract

The article examines a controversial problem of criticising physical activity in the aspect of physiological irregularities or incorrect performance of motoric activities. The authors represent a questionable view that a wrong physical activity is actually worse than no activity at all. They formulate the following thesis: walking with poles (Nordic Walking) is bad for obese people and undermines the basic principles of obesity treatment. The article presents biochemical and anthropometric characteristics of obesity. Main problems related to obesity and musculoskeletal system are discussed in the context of spinal joints and lower limbs overload and degeneration (specifically knee joints). The article examines biomechanical aspects of multiple musculoskeletal loads in obese persons, which lead to dynamic stability disorders.
