HOW TO MEASURE YOUR STRIDE LENGTH
The length between the toes (or heels) of your front foot and back foot as you take one normal
step is your stride length. Your approximate stride length can be calculated by subtracting 100
from your height (in cm). But this can vary widely depending on such factors as your manner of
walking or speed of walking.
To accurately calculate your stride length, simply walk 10 steps as illustrated below and measure
the distance. Then divide this distance by 10 to determine your average stride length.
m (total distance)
10 steps
(number of steps)
= m = cm (average stride length)
9 7 5 3 1
10 8 6 4 2
6m
60cm
60cm
<Example>
If you walk 6 meters in 10 steps, your average stride length is calculated as below.
Your average stride length is 60 cm.
How long is your stride length? (Write it down for convenience.)
6 m (total distance walked)
10 steps (number of steps taken)
= 0.6 m = 60 cm (average stride length)
