*. * * * * * •• NATIOKAL S'ra!!Jicml IN THE RACE WAI.KING liORLD

Does the Soviet's strong showing in this year's I.ugano Cl!p staap the USSR as the world ' s leading .race walking polfer. Well, c:artainly for thie year, but what about over the long haul?

Starting in 19'70, Track and Field News has ranked th'3 t.o.i t.-?c 11e.~..era each year in both the 20 and 50 km events . t So has the ORii, · rut einoe the two rankings have not varied a great deal and the T&f News' a.re cocci.sely • smnmarized in the. 1982 U.S. Race Walk Handbook, we have use-i the T&ii' ?<lews rankings for the following ana.J.ssis. (The Handbook does no~ list the 1970 rankings far ~ome rea.son, but fortunately the ORW offices have a complete file of T.!:F News back to 1953.)

Tu.king those rankings and awarding 10 points for first, 9 'for secood, 8 for third , and so on through tenth, file USSR leads th!! vay ~or the JB$t 13 years (19'70 through 1982) with JBl points. East Germa.oy is j,JSt behind with 372, and llexico is a rather distant third with 285 . Ne one else has 100, with West Germany edging Italy by one point for fourlh-g? to 96. During those lJ yea.re, 22 different Soviet lfalkers ha-ve achieved a top 10 ranking, attesting to the depth of' race llalking excellence in that country. East Germany has 19 different individuals ranked and Mexico 12.

But while the USSR and East C-ermany have been doing v-ery ,;ell in the rankings throughout the lJ yea:r period., Mexico did not coae into promiaence until 1975 . At that ti.lie, Ea.st Germany bad a.L-r-ead,y ammassed 170 llOints and the Soviets 18). Mexico had only 4. Thus, over the iast 8 years: the Mex­icans a.re well ahead, And, even ta.king the whole lJ years, but scori.Dg only the first 6 (10,8,6,4,2, l lasis), Mexico moves to secood with 201 with East Ge:rmo;, first at 222 and the USSR only third with 188 a.gain shoving the Soviet depth 1n capturing lll!UlY rank~ in the 7 to 10·~.

ACHIIll:S H«>BIEMS by Dr, Howard Pa.lam.rchuk

As legend goes, the "achillee hee.J.• is also t~ bane of athletes. Race walkers a.re not affected by achilles injuries as much a.a runners but occa.ssona.lly, achilles problems do occur in the 11a.lker . •

The achilles tendon connects th!! ~lierful calf !11\lscles t.o the heel bone and transmits the powerful contr-...cticn t.hat results in toe off". 'l'hei tendon is the strongest and thickest tecdcn 1n the body.

The most co1D111on ailment of the achillis ls tendonitis. It (the inflammation) may occur at the junction of' the m.iscle a.nd tendon t~ tendon i ta elf, or 11here the tendon irls~rls into the hee 1 bone. Small tea.rs occur in the tendon fibers and adhesions follow. The tendon feels like sandpa._per on movement and ma.y barn ~1th each step. It must. be no"t4!d. that the achilles tendon does not have a t...-ue sheath as other tend~ns do. It has a covering of loose, fatty tiss=. This is what creates adhesions , Treatment 111USt be prompt as thAs ccr.dition becollll!s Jnare difficult to heal :If allowed to become chronic. Treat.Gent consists of a h<!el Uft to reduce tension, rest, ioe mass~e, and gTaC.:i.a.l stretching of the calf lllUscles.

Chronic tendonitis with partia l !'-~«"!.i."lg uay result in a partial or 7omplete rupture of the tendon. This ~ a. .;erious "i)roblem seen esJ)eially ,

, in the older athlete, (Those that cc=.;iHed in ?o,::yo or earlier Olympics). Treatment consists of surgical re~ir or 4 to 8 weeks in a cast. Best t:.o take care of the tendonitis bef"ore it reaches this stage.

Other problenis include irritation to the tendon from bony bumps on u,e heel or inflamed bursa. These resp:>tld to rest, ice, and protection such as llits and padding, . '

Finally, one of the chief c..uses oi' achilles problems in walkers is excessive heel wear in shoes. Wal.iters are notorious "patchers" and Re• heelers" of walking shoes, since these shoes are so ha.rd to come by (and many of us do not have Nike or Adidas contracts). T'ne heel.a should be level, not worn dmm or run over. !f ~ heel.a are too far gone, disc.rd the shoes. You may save yourself & lot of trouble

good idea to go for a walk after dinner Is bolstered by a study dpne at CClnlell University's Division of Nutri­tional Sciences. It seems that exercise after eating reduces extra calories -reduces them more .. than the exercise alQnewoulddo.

, , As little as a, ~minute walk fol-

lowing a meal, the study found, in­creases the number of calories the body burns . It does so by boosting the metabolic rate. So the exercise--after­eating (but not too stren uously) ap­proach has some advantages over a low-calorie diet. Such a diet , we are told, tends to lower the metabolic rate. making weight loss more dif­ficult. Anyone for a walk a fter dinner?
