Objectives:
a) To determine Pace Factor (PF)
b) To measure distance by Pacing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. INSTRUMENTS AND ACCESSORIES: Range Poles, Steel Tape, Markers
(hubs, paint, chalk, or crayons).
B. PROCEDURE:
1. Determining Pace Factor.
a) Select a straight and level course and on both ends establish
markers at least 90 meters apart. Designate these end points as A
and B.
b) Walk over the course at a natural pace or gait starting with
either heel or toe over point A and count the number of paces to
reach point B.
c) For succeeding trials, walk from B to A, then A to B, until ten
(10) trials are completed, and the number of paces recorded
accordingly.
d) Refer to the accompanying sample format for the recording of
observed field data.
D. COMPUTATION:
a) Get the sum of the number of paces for the ten trials performed on
course AB then compute the mean number of paces.
b) Divide the unknown or taped length of course AB by the mean number
of paces for AB to determine the pace factor.
a) Get the sum of the number of paces for the ten trials performed on
course CD and compute the mean number of paces.
b) Multiply the mean number of paces for CD by the pace factor to
obtain the paced distance.
