The previous reviewed studies on inducement of fatigue through long-time walking were not only very confined, but also not cleared on rela-tionship among variables of fatigue inducement active force, decay rate, and power. This study analyzed relationship between power and component of ground reaction force after fatigue being induced through 16-km walking. The fatigue of adult males and females (n=16) was induced through 16-km walking. Then power, measured for pre and post of fatigue inducement, was evaluated by maximal vertical jump on ground reaction force plate. Variables of vertical jump heights, active force, power, and decay rate showed decreased tendency after fatigue inducement, which followed significant difference (P<0.05) and also positive correlation of r=0.628 (R 2=39%) of between vertical jump heights and power and r=0.589 (R 2=34%) of between active force and decay rate respectively. That is, long-time walking for pursuing of exer-cise rehabilitation, health promotion and leisure activity has been pre-ferred. In the view of this, this study suggested the necessity to under-stand the relation between fatigue and power to prevent a potential possibility of injury during long-time walking.
