Enter the distance covered, stride length, and time into the calculator to determine the strides per minute. This calculator helps to evaluate the pace of walking or running.
Strides Per Minute Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the strides per minute.
SPM = (D / SL) / T
Variables:
- SPM is the strides per minute
- D is the distance covered (meters)
- SL is the stride length (meters)
- T is the time (minutes)
To calculate the strides per minute, divide the distance covered by the stride length to find the total number of strides, then divide that number by the time in minutes.
What is Strides Per Minute?
Strides per minute (SPM) is a measure of the pace of walking or running, indicating how many strides a person takes in one minute. It is a useful metric for athletes to monitor their performance and for individuals to track their exercise intensity. A higher SPM indicates a faster pace, which can be beneficial for improving cardiovascular fitness and burning more calories.
How to Calculate Strides Per Minute?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Strides Per Minute.
- First, determine the distance covered (D) in meters.
- Next, determine the stride length (SL) in meters.
- Next, determine the time (T) in minutes.
- Next, gather the formula from above = SPM = (D / SL) / T.
- Finally, calculate the Strides Per Minute (SPM).
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Distance covered (D) = 1000 meters
Stride length (SL) = 0.8 meters
Time (T) = 10 minutes
