综合了步行与跑步的运动。

DEFINITION

Noun

A form of exercise that involves walking and/or jogging.

由来
  • 英语 “Walk-and-jog” 的意译。
  • 行兼跑运动允许参与者在需要休息的时候以步行的方式继续前进。他们可以先以跑步开始，而在需要休息时放慢速度至步行速度。这有别于一般的长途赛跑。
  • 行兼跑有助于提高选手的跑步耐力，也可鼓励体力较弱的人士通过参与这项活动来锻炼身体。
  • 无论是由政府或私人企业举办，新加坡的行兼跑活动还可达到两种目的：一、凝聚公众一同欢庆重要的节日；二、作为慈善活动，即向参与者或公众筹集捐赠，后交给指定的慈善团体。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “行兼跑” is a paraphrase of the English term “walk-and-jog”.
  • Walk-and-jog allows participants to alternate between jogging and walking, depending on their fitness. They may start with jogging, but slow down to a walking pace if they need to rest. This differs from the usual long-distance competitive running.
  • Walk-and-jog can increase participants’ endurance when jogging and also encourage individuals who are physically weaker to participate and exercise.
  • Walk-and-jogs are often organised as a group activity by the Government or private enterprises in Singapore, either to simply bring people together to celebrate significant occasions, or as a fundraising event, with donations from participants or the public going to charity.
