Relationships between Stride Frequency, Stride Length, Step Length and Velocity with Asymmetric Gaits in the Thoroughbred Horse

The relationships between length of stride, step frequency, time of swing and speed of walking for children and adults.

Cadence, Stride Rate and Stride Length during Triathlon Competition

Triathlon research shows cycling alters the physiological response of subsequent running but, at present, biomechanical changes are unresolved. This study examined cycling cadence and running stride rate (SR) and length (SL) used by senior elite triathletes during competition. These variables were then compared to running and triathlon performance. Data from 51 elite male World Championships tr...

Influence of Stride Frequency and Length on Running Mechanics

CONTEXT A high number of recreational runners sustain a running-related injury each year. To reduce injury risk, alterations in running form have been suggested. One simple strategy for running stride frequency or length has been commonly advocated. OBJECTIVE To characterize how running mechanics change when stride frequency and length are manipulated. DATA SOURCES In January 2012, a compre...

Is the Relationship Between Stride Length, Frequency, and Velocity Influenced by Running on a Treadmill or Overground?

The purpose of the study was to compare the relationship between stride length (SL), stride frequency (SF), and velocity while running on a treadmill and overground. Participants (n=10; 22.3±2.6 yrs; 1.71±.08 m; 71.4±15.5 kg) completed a total of 14 runs (7 treadmill, 7 overground) with each run at a different velocity. SL, SF, and velocity data were recorded using wearable technology (Garmin, ...

The desert ant odometer: a stride integrator that accounts for stride length and walking speed.

Desert ants, Cataglyphis, use path integration as a major means of navigation. Path integration requires measurement of two parameters, namely, direction and distance of travel. Directional information is provided by a celestial compass, whereas distance measurement is accomplished by a stride integrator, or pedometer. Here we examine the recently demonstrated pedometer function in more detail....
