The harm of race walking
Walking race is a beneficial exercise, which can help you lose weight. For those who try for the first time, they may feel thigh pain, because the speed of race walking is faster and the requirements for leg strength are higher. In addition, excessive swing may lead to joint injury, so preventive measures should be taken before exercise and stretching training should be carried out properly.

Race walking is faster than ordinary walking and requires higher leg strength. People who don't exercise for a long time may feel sore thighs when they suddenly run for a race walk, but with the passage of time, this discomfort will be alleviated.

Compared with running, race walking is slower, but long-term exercise may hurt your knees. For patients with heart or cardiovascular diseases, race walking may aggravate their condition, so preventive measures should be taken before exercise.

Walking race helps to lose weight and exercise the whole body muscles, burn excess fat and calories, and at the same time has a shaping effect. However, stretching training should be properly carried out before and after the race walk to avoid pulling muscles.
