2. Pedometer - Wikipedia

   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 ...

3. Bipedal gait cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipedal_gait_cycle

   Stride Length: It is defined as the distance between any two successive points of heel contact of the same foot. In a normal gait, the stride length is double the step length. Walking Base or Stride Width: It is defined as the side-to-side distance between the line of step of the two feet. Cadence: It is defined as the number of steps per unit ...

4. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

   A pace is a unit of length consisting either of one normal walking step (approximately 0.75 metres or 30 inches), or of a double step, returning to the same foot (approximately 1.5 metres or 60 inches). The normal pace length decreases with age and some health conditions. [1] The word "pace" is also used for units inverse to speed, used mainly ...

5. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

   Dead reckoning. The navigator plots their 9 a.m. position, indicated by the triangle, and, using their course and speed, estimates their own position at 9:30 and 10 a.m. In navigation, dead reckoning is the process of calculating the current position of a moving object by using a previously determined position, or fix, and incorporating ...

6. Pace count beads - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_count_beads

   Pace count beads. Pace count beads or ranger beads are a manual counting tool used to keep track of distance traveled through a pace count. It is used in military land navigation or orienteering. [1] A typical example for military use is keeping track of distance traveled during a foot patrol. [2]

   “The average stride length has been measured to be about 2.1 to 2.5 feet, which corresponds to roughly about 2,000 steps for most people to reach one mile,” Savage explains.

8. Gait analysis - Wikipedia

   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 ...

9. Level and incline running - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_and_Incline_Running

   When running at a constant speed, it has been found that stride frequency increases during incline vs. level running with a concomitant decrease in stride length. At a speed of 30 meters/second Gottschall and Kram noted an increase in stride frequency from 1.45±0.06 Hz to 1.51±0.07 Hz at an incline of 9 degrees (15.8%). [ 8 ]
