Sport walking, also known as power walking or speed walking, is a sport in which you walk faster than usual. Read on to learn more about sport walking.
Unlike regular morning walking, which is done unconsciously, sports walking is done actively and at a faster pace.
Unlike trekking, this activity is performed on flat surfaces and so predominantly in urban settings: parks, seawalls, stadiums, or even running machines.
Sport walking may be done at various speeds depending on your goals. The walking pace can so range between 5 and 10kmph (around 3-6mph).
Sport walkers engage in sessions that range anything from 30 minutes to several hours. The frequency with which you walk is also determined by the goals you have set for yourself; some sport walkers go out several times each week.
Sport walkers have two key goals:
One of the primary benefits of sport walking is that it can be done practically anywhere, at any time, and does not require a lot of expensive equipment: simply grab some good shoes and you’re off.
Fitness walking is a beneficial physical activity for your body and health since it works out many different muscles. It has all of the benefits of other sports, such as jogging or cycling, such as reducing diabetes and heart disease, burning calories, and so forth.
Walking has fewer disadvantages and more benefits than other sports since it is low-impact and accessible to everyone: basically, it is one of the activities that are easiest on the body, particularly your joints, and your chance of injury is reduced.
Walking enables you to stay in shape by burning about 300 calories per hour at an average pace of 6.5kmph (4mph), and if you want to burn even more calories, simply speed up: 380 calories/hour when you go above 8kmph (5mph)*! To give you a sense of what this means, it is the number of calories burned when running at the same speed or participating in a one-hour fast dance or aerobics class at the gym.
Your foot passes through three stages while you go sport walking.
