Abstract
Foot posture is one of the risk factors for knee and foot injury. Many athletes in race walking events have injury histories on their knee and foot which might be caused by problems in foot posture. However, knowledge of foot posture in athletes training for race walking events is insufficient to prevent injuries. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the foot posture in athletes training for race walking events and show the knowledge how to prevent injuries. A total of 45 Japanese male athletes in race walking events (90 foot) was recruited for the measurement of navicular height (NH) and foot length (FL). The history of training and injuries were collected from each subject. Arch height index (AHI: NH/FL) and NH of left foot was significantly lower than right one(p<.05). In most of injury histories, foot injuries occurred on the left foot of each subject. The usual training site for most of subjects in the present study was the circuit course in the direction of counterclockwise where they walk with left foot inside during the curved section. In conclusion, the work load to the left foot might increase with these usual training site. This load is likely related to the low NH and AHI and the frequent injury of the left foot. For implications, it is suggested that the training of racewalk on the circuit course should not be continuously in the same counterclockwise direction with the left foot inside, but also in the opposite direction to prevent injuries of the left foot.
