    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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). Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s).

    A plot of walking speed versus slope resulting from Naismith's rule [7] and Langmuir corrections [7] [15] for base speeds of 5 km/h and 4 km/h compared to Tobler's hiking function. [ 16 ] [ n 1 ] Scarf's equivalence between distance and climb

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walking

    In Japan, the standard measure for walking speed is 80 m/min (4.8 km/h). Champion racewalkers can average more than 14 km/h (8.7 mph) over a distance of 20 km (12 mi). An average human child achieves independent walking ability at around 11 months old. [6]

    The findings, published this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, show that the risk of Type 2 diabetes decreased significantly at a walking speed of 4 km/h or 2.5 mph and above.

  6. Tobler's hiking function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobler's_hiking_function

    W = walking velocity [km/h] [2] dh = elevation difference, dx = distance, S = slope, θ = angle of slope (inclination). The velocity on the flat terrain is 5 km / h, the maximum speed of 6 km / h is achieved roughly at -2.86°. [5] On flat terrain this formula works out to 5 km/h.

    The average walking speed of an elephant is 7.2 km/h (4.5 mph), but they can run at recorded speeds of up to 24 km/h (15 mph). [ 2 ] Heaviest extant land mammals

  9. Exercise intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_intensity

    Some studies measure exercise intensity by having subjects perform exercise trials to determine peak power output, [4] which may be measured in watts, heart rate, or average cadence (cycling). This approach attempts to gauge overall workload. An informal method to determine optimal exercise intensity is the talk test.
