Women's training in race walking at a master's level

The race walking discipline is now practiced professionally by women who compete in sports events around the world. It is included in the Olympic Games as well as in all world and European championship events. When analysing race walking performed by women purely from a sports performance perspective, it is essential to consider their biological conditions for endurance training in terms of physical capacity. Despite undeniable anatomical differences, women are not smaller and weaker, but rather different from men. Therefore, women's training must have its own specificity and cannot be just a scaled-down version of men's training. When planning women's training, it is important to take into account their characteristic biological rhythm, which includes phases of increased and decreased capacity for physical exertion. To enable females to compete at a world-class level, continuous searching for new training solutions is necessary, such as training in various climatic conditions or training camps at high altitudes.
