This is because a reduction in moment of inertia facilitates a faster and more efficient swing phase that increases cadence and speed .It is possible that this requirement means the race walker must avoid flexing the knee to an extent that a rapid reversal to full extension by initial contact could be problematic (due to the requirement for a high angular velocity of the knee during late swing that might lead to injury .
