Understanding Step Length
Step size depends on height, leg length, and walking speed. Here’s a breakdown:
- Men: Average stride ≈ 0.73 m (2.4 ft)
- Women: Average stride ≈ 0.67 m (2.2 ft)
- Children: Stride length grows with age — about 0.3–0.6 m
To measure your stride, walk 10 meters, count your steps, and divide distance by steps.
