LAB EXERCISE No. 1

PROBLEM : PACING

OBJECTIVES : a) To determine individual pace factor.

b) To measure distance by pacing.

1. Determining Pace Factor.

DISTANCE NUMBER of MEAN No. PACE FACTOR

TRIAL LINE
(m) PACES of PACES (m/pace)
1 AB 145
2 BA 146
100 144.8 0.69
3 AB 144
4 BA 146
5 AB 143

2. Measuring Distance by Pacing.

NUMBER PACED TAPED RELATIVE

LINE MEAN
of PACES DISTANCE DISTANCE PRECISION

CD 160 PF x Mean
DC 158
160 110 1/(TD/D)1/275
CD 159 110.40
DC 161 110.40
CD 162
Discrepancy = Absolute difference between Taped Distance and Paced Distance
D = TD - PD 110 – 110.40 = 0.40
RP 1/(110/0.40) = 1/275
Computations:

1. Computing Pace Factor (PF):

a) Get the sum of the number of paces for the five trials performed on course AB
and then compute the mean number of paces.

b) Divide the known or taped length of course AB by the mean number of paces
for AB to determine the pace factor.

2. Computing Paced Distance (PD):

a) Get the sum of number of paces for the five 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.

3. Computing Relative Precision (PR):

a) Determine the difference between the taped distance of CD and the paced
distance of CD.

b) Divide the difference by the taped distance of CD and reduced the numerator
to unity to determine the relative precision.

Remarks:

1. The accepted precision for measuring distance by pacing usually varies from
1/200 to 1/500.

2. If the computed relative precision of the set of measurements is greater than one
part in two hundred (i.e. >1/200), the measurement should be repeated.
