Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: Step Length Identity
Step Length (m) = [Speed (km/h) × 1000 / 60] / Cadence (SPM)Derives individual step length from forward ground velocity and step frequency.
Model Assumptions
- Level ground running
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Forward velocity in km/h | km/h |
| Cadence | Cadence in steps per minute | SPM |
Scientific Limitations
- Stride length naturally lengthens as running velocity increases
