Relationship of selected biomechanical variable to the performance in race walking
Author(s): Dr. Vasant Vishram Rathod
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to find out the relationship of selected biomechanical variables to the performance in race walking. The subjects were 5 male race walkers of junior national level with their age ranging between 18-24 years. The sequential photography technique was employed to record the race walking technique. A motor drives Nikon Model EM camera was used. The subjects were photographed at the two phase i.e. single support and double support in sagittal plane. From the photographic the stick figures were prepared by using joint-point methods and various biomechanical variables were obtained at the two phases. All selected biomechanical also does not show any significant relationship with the performance of race walking. The biomechanical variable i.e. Hip angle showed significant relationship with the performance of race walking at 0.05 level.
