一、阅读理解
[2020全国Ⅰ卷·C]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. The longest track and field
event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is
about five miles 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 Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science
at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.
Like running, race walking is physically demanding, she says.
According to most calculations, race walkers moving at a pace of six
miles per hour would burn about 800 calories(卡路里) per hour,
which is 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 the body as much as
running does, Dr. Norberg 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, she says, some of the injuries associated with running,
such as runner's knee, 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 cautious 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.
