Racewalking: Getting the Knee Straight

Спорт

A common flaw in beginners is failure to get the knee straight at the moment of first ground contact. This video shows drills--such as chip and sweep--to help correct this error.

    @@ianwhatley7310 I am interested to learn about more drills and drills to improve race walking skills - posture, to avoid a bent knee, to maintain ground contact and the push off to gain speed & continuity. I remember you talking about these in our USATF level 2 endurance class a couple years ago.

    @@kbbjr8979 A couple of years ago (OK, a couple of decades ago...) I made a drills video tape with Dave McGovern. We piled in every drill we could think of for racewalking. Editing in those days wasn't easy and we had to film everything in order, layering retakes over outtakes. The final video is rough but useful even today, and the marketing ploy of calling it our second video still causes people to ask where they can get our first video! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hn6nj6iDhrSpZ9I.html

    Sore shins are common at first in racewalking. You can do isometric strengthening exercises to reduce the problem: Seated with the heel on the floor, lift your toes towards your shin using the shin muscles. Hold at maximum contraction for a count of 10. Rest that leg and repeat with the opposite leg. Do 5 to 10 repetitions per leg. Try to include this exercise on alternate days.
