Some people say that racewalking will thicken calves, it will thin fat thighs, and muscular legs will not be thin, but legs will not be deformed.
Appropriate race walking can be effective in thinning fat-type legs, and well maintain the shape of the legs, but excessive race walking although you can lose fat, but it will exercise the leg muscles, especially the calf muscles will be protruding, and can not achieve the effect of beautiful legs. The actual race walking is to help the whole body shape, and race walking exercise is a long distance, long time of low intensity aerobic exercise, weight loss and slimming effect is very good. Race Walking is a relatively gentle exercise, mainly by endurance, not instant power, general strength type of exercise will make the body's power point thicker. Therefore the correct way of race walking is not only on the degree of muscle development is relatively small, at the same time can also make the leg fat disappear, play the effect of thin legs.
Knee hyperextension and anterior pelvic shift are caused by:
One: congenital factors
Some people are born with poor connective tissue toughness or joint mobility than the normal range.
Two: Acquired factors
include pathologic changes, such as hyperextension of the knee due to neurological disorders, and compensatory hyperextension of the knee through daily actions such as walking posture, wearing high heels, and other aspects.
Three: injuries caused by external forces
such as impact in sports or accidents.
Four: the special requirements of the sports program on the human body
For example, ballet dancers use their toes for a long time for single-leg support, which can lead to knee hyperextension in long-term practice.
Fifth: with the weight-bearing habits
such as standing with the help of the knee locking to maintain stability, or strength training, every time the knee is over-extended to reach the joint locking position.
Sixth: poor stance and weight distribution
For example, the center of gravity is shifted too far forward due to anterior pelvic tilt or anterior shift, which results in the line of gravity passing through the front of the knee, and prolonged horizontal backward compression may cause knee hyperextension.
Seven: gluteus maximus weakness
As the main muscle of hip extension, gluteus maximus weakness will make the person walk, the upper back and hip extension amplitude is insufficient, and the lack of hip extension amplitude often leads to knee hyperextension instead of and to compensate for the so-called compensation, which may lead to the knee hyperextension in the long term
