Racewalk Training

In daily race walking training, two key factors—ground clearance time and knee flexion angle—cannot be provided by treadmill equipment, nor offer real-time alerts. However, the TEKFIT Intelligent Sports Technology Race Walking Training System, developed by IMOTEK, provides real-time data feedback, significantly benefiting athlete training and performance enhancement.
With the assistance of sports science in training, athletes' development moves beyond traditional methods. Sports science effectively helps top athletes in the country improve performance by using scientific analysis, enabling students to better understand their physical capabilities and find the most efficient training methods. Through "motion analysis technology," the system aims to help athletes strengthen their competitive skills, push personal limits, understand and protect their bodies, prevent sports injuries, and extend their athletic careers.

Phases of Race Walking Motion

Rules

The main rules for race walking competitions are as follows:

Features

  • Wearable sensors
  • Compatible with any brand of treadmill equipment
  • Evaluation mode displays motion trajectories of five sensors simultaneously
  • Real-time motion tracking
  • Dual visual and voice prompts
  • Instant report generated at the end of training
  • Data-driven analysis
  • Report can be downloaded via LINE on a mobile phone

  • Motion Analysis
  • Stance Phase
  • Swing Phase
  • Angle Balance
  • Power Balance
  • Off-time
  • Arm Angle

Case Study

Example:
  • Adult
  • 70 Kg
  • Steps per minute: 180
  • Time: Around 40 mins (5Km)
  • Frequency: 3 times per week
  • Power ratio 55:45

>> 70*(55%-45%)*180*40=50,400 kg
>> 50,400*(365/7*3)=7,884 tons

Potential Risks of Improper Posture:
  • Muscle strain
  • Ankle sprain
  • Shin splint
  • Stress fracture
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
