競步是什麼？ What is Race Walking?

競步是從普通走路的基礎上發展出來的，運動員競步時，雙腳不能同時離地，前腿的足(腳)跟從觸地的一瞬間始，至支牚部份(即重心)都應該伸直，亦即膝關節不得彎曲。競步可鍛鍊運動員身體的協調和耐力。與跑步相比，競步是一項低撞擊運動，對關節的傷害較小，適合普羅大眾參與。

Race Walking is developed from normal walking. Athletes are required to keep at least one foot on the ground at all times while the advancing leg should be straight when the heel hits the ground. Race Walking develops an athlete's coordination and endurance. It is a low impact sport when compared to running, with a lower possibility of joint injuries, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of the general public to enjoy.
