The training stress in 50-kilometre racewalking divided in to the applied training loads

Abstract

The results achieved by 50-kilometreracewalkers during the
greatest sports events confirm the theory that the “limits of human
capabilities” are boundless.
Achieving such excellent results is possible thanks to the
systematic development of knowledge about the functioning of the
human system. This allows to conduct trainings in a smart and
effective way, thus adapting an athlete to higher training stress. The
combination of sports theory, industrial technique and great training
organization can bring the desired success.
Systematic training makes an athlete a champion. It should be
arranged according to a specific structure. Said structure should
include carefully selected training loads, which are to be used in the
training process. The choice of the loads, and also their size and
appropriate proportions between them, must be assessed
individually for each contestant.
The publication presents the training stress in 50-kilometre
racewalking divided into the applied training loads. Training units
completed in year-long training cycles of 50-kilometre racewalkers
have been put under analysis. The research material includes two
four-year-long Olympic cycles from the years 2009-2012 and 2013-
2016. In total, eight one-year cycles have been analysed..
