   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedometer

   Pedometer. A pedometer, or step-counter, is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hands or hips. Because the distance of each person's step varies, an informal calibration, performed by the user, is required if presentation of the distance ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gait_analysis

   Gait analysis is the systematic study of animal locomotion, more specifically the study of human motion, using the eye and the brain of observers, augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements, body mechanics, and the activity of the muscles. [1] Gait analysis is used to assess and treat individuals with conditions affecting their ...

5. Effect of gait parameters on energetic cost - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_gait_parameters...

   The effect of gait parameters on energetic cost is a relationship that describes how changes in step length, cadence, step width, and step variability influence the mechanical work and metabolic cost involved in gait. The source of this relationship stems from the deviation of these gait parameters from metabolically optimal values, with the ...

7. Preferred walking speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_walking_speed

   Preferred walking speed. The preferred walking speed is the speed at which humans or animals choose to walk. Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s). [1][2][3] Individuals may find slower or faster speeds uncomfortable. Horses have also demonstrated normal, narrow distributions of preferred walking ...
