Race walking shares many fitness benefits with running,research shows,while most likely contributing to fewer injuries. It does,however,have its own problem.
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. One of the longest athletics events at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometre race walk,which is about eight kilometres longer than the marathon. But the sport's rules require that a race walker's knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It's this strange form that makes race walking such an attractive activity,however,says an assistant professor of exercise science.
Like running,race walking is physically demanding,she says. According to most calculations,race walkers moving at a pace of about 9.6 kilometres per hour would burn about 800 calories per hour,approximately twice as many as they would burn walking,although fewer than running,which would probably burn about 1,000 or more calories per hour.
However,race walking does not pound (连续猛击) the body as much as running does,the assistant professor says. According to her research,runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step,while race walkers,who do not leave the ground,create only about 1.4 times their body weight with each step.
As a result,the assistant professor says,some of the injuries associated with running,such as runners' knees,are uncommon among race walkers. But the sport's strange form does place considerable stress on the ankles and hips,so people with a history of such injuries might want to be careful in adopting the sport. In fact,anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first consult a coach or experienced racer to learn proper technique,she says. It takes some practice.
