Competing in Hot Conditions at the Tokyo Olympic Games: Preparation Strategies Used by Australian Race Walkers by Amelia J. Carr, Brent S. Vallance, Brent S. Vallance, Jessica Rothwell, Jessica Rothwell, Anna E. Rea, Louise M. Burke, Joshua H. Guy

“…Race performance data and environmental conditions from the 2021 Olympic Games were also documented.ResultsThe highest values for aerobic capacity were 63.6 mL⋅kg–1⋅min–1 for female race walkers and 73.7 mL⋅kg–1⋅min–1 for males. Training volume for the six athletes was the highest in the second week of the team holding camp, and training intensity was lowest in the first week of the team holding camp. …”

Neither Beetroot Juice Supplementation nor Increased Carbohydrate Oxidation Enhance Economy of Prolonged Exercise in Elite Race Walkers by Louise M. Burke, Rebecca Hall, Ida A. Heikura, Megan L. Ross, Nicolin Tee, Georgina L. Kent, Jamie Whitfield, Sara F. Forbes, Avish P. Sharma, Andrew M. Jones, Peter Peeling, Jamie R. Blackwell, Iñigo Mujika, Karen Mackay, Marta Kozior, Brent Vallance, Alannah K. A. McKay

“…Given the importance of exercise economy to endurance performance, we implemented two strategies purported to reduce the oxygen cost of exercise within a 4 week training camp in 21 elite male race walkers. Fourteen athletes undertook a crossover investigation with beetroot juice (BRJ) or placebo (PLA) [2 d preload, 2 h pre-exercise + 35 min during exercise] during a 26 km race walking at speeds simulating competitive events. …”

Automatic Detection of Faults in Race Walking: A Comparative Analysis of Machine-Learning Algorithms Fed with Inertial Sensor Data by Juri Taborri, Eduardo Palermo, Stefano Rossi

“…This study aims to compare machine-learning algorithms fed with data gathered from inertial sensors placed on lower-limb segments to define the best-performing classifiers for the automatic detection of illegal steps. Eight race walkers were enrolled and linear accelerations and angular velocities related to pelvis, thighs, shanks, and feet were acquired by seven inertial sensors. …”
