Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the gait efficiency and foot placement for Egyptian race walker, Sample 7 male and 5 female  competitive walkers. The competition was held at Cairo stadium   1-10/2014 The investigating period in the competition season. The investigation included some parameters that are  related to efficiency in race walking (Stride length, stride time, step length, flight time, stride frequency, foot angle ,Knee at contact ,Hip angle, Pelvic rotation, Shoulder rotation, Leg pathway Deviation, Speed, Performance time).Data Analysis: Using Dartfish v4.5 program to calculate parameter. SPSS for Statistical analyses. Z-tests were used to compare the differences between male and female ,Correlation coefficients between all variables  with Performance time,  probability level of 0.05 was accepted as significant. Egyptians walker  comply with the straightened knee rule, and have no visible loss of contact. Lifting tends to occur for 0.02 seconds  for male and 0.03 seconds for female or less even in the very fastest walkers . Egyptians race walkers have step lengths approximately 64.57 % of their height for male and 61.67% for female. Egyptians race walkers have less pelvic rotation and more upper body movement.
