In India, the correct race walking technique is often taught using locally made training aids. For example, many athletes use traditional Indian bamboo poles to practice arm swings and posture, which helps maintain the required straight leg and hip movement. Additionally, lightweight cotton dhotis are sometimes worn during practice to ensure free leg motion without restriction. Indian coaches emphasize rhythmic breathing techniques derived from yoga, synchronizing it with the race walk steps to improve endurance and form. These local products make learning the technique more accessible and culturally relevant for Indian athletes. |
