The article examines the role and place of walking in rehabilitation activities in sports.

Walking is analyzed as a natural, accessible, and effective tool for restoring the physical and psychological state of athletes after injuries. The physiological benefits of aerobic loading and its impact on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems are discussed.

The criteria for determining the effectiveness of walking as a rehabilitation method are given. Nordic walking is highlighted as a specific form of cyclical activity that ensures uniform distribution of load and aids in musculoskeletal recovery.

Key words: rehabilitation, walking, sports, injuries.
