Purpose: on the base of bio-mechanical characteristics' analysis determination of trends in technique's changes of elite sportswomen, specializing in 20 kilometers' race walk, with rising of their sport results. Material: the research covered 13 elite sportswomen, specializing in 20 kilometers' race walk (396 measurements). Results: biomechanical characteristics of the best 20 kilometers' race walk sportswomen at Ukrainian championships 2014-2015 have been elucidated. Comparative analysis of elite sportswomen, having different sport results, has been conducted. Conclusions: improvement of sportsmanship to world level (from 1:38:37 to 1:31:35) takes place at the account of increasing of step length to 1.10 m (S = 0,01); shortening of phase of single support X average = 0.26 sec.; S = 0.01) owing to reduction of shock absorption time to 0.08 sec.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
