agree  Paulo Marcon: Acho que superfície abaulada, como as beiradas das ruas e caminhos, onde o piso descai na direção do meio fio. Correr por ali não deve ser bom para o equilíbrio, um pé toca o chão numa altura diferente do outro.

superfícies inclinadas/em declive


Explanation:
Pelo sentido da frase, eu acho que se trata de superfícies "inclinadas", que são do tipo "downhill surfaces" e que podem podem ser "slippery surfaces"(escorregadias).
