Location/s:

Objectives:

1. To determine individual pace factor.

2. To measure distance by pacing

Intended Learning Outcomes:

.
To be familiar with the methods of pacing as a quick reference in determining various
horizontal distances

Instruments:

1 Measuring Tape (50m)

1 Chalk/Marker
Procedure:

1) Determining Pace Factor.

A) Select a straight and level course and on both ends establish markers at least 50
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 7 trials are completed,
and the number of paces recorded accordingly.
D) Tabulate.
E) To compute for the pace factor, divide the fixed length by the average number of
paces.
2) Measuring Distance by Pacing

A) Define or establish the end points of another level course whose length is to be
determined by pacing. Designate these end points as C and D.
B) For the first trial, walk over the course from C to D at a natural pace and record the
number of paces. Then walk from D to C and again record the number of paces.
C) Repeat the above procedure up to two trials.
