Also.race walking requires a lot.she says.Accarding to-the rescarch,race walkers moving at a Dacc of six miles per hour would burn almotwicc s may as they would burn walking which is about 400 clories per hour.However,it is still fewer than running which wouk probably bum about 1.000 or more calorics per hour. OHowever,race walking does not pound(R)the body as much as running does,Dr.Nor. berg says.Runners hit the ground with as much as four times their body weight per step. while race walkers.who do not leave the ground.create only about 1.4 times their body weigk with each step. 6As a result.she says.some of the injurics (related to running.such as runner's 國 knee.are uncommon among race walkers.But the sport's strange form does place some stress on body,so people with a history of such injuries need to be careful with the sport.In fact anyone wishing to try race walking should probably first leamn proper skills from a coach or 却 experienced racer,she says. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。(5分) 的 36.Race walkers are trained players because A.they have to follow special rules B.they had better practise in summer 长 C.they must run fast for a long time D.they should be good at the marathos 37.A race walker moving at a pace of six miles per hour would bum calories.
