Enter the number of steps taken and the time it took to walk those steps into the calculator to determine your walking cadence. The cadence is the number of steps you take per minute.
Walking Cadence Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the walking cadence.
C = S / T
Variables:
- C is the cadence (steps per minute)
- S is the number of steps taken
- T is the time (minutes) it took to take those steps
To calculate walking cadence, divide the number of steps taken by the time in minutes.
What is Walking Cadence?
Walking cadence is the number of steps a person takes per minute while walking. It is an important measure for assessing walking speed and intensity. A higher cadence indicates a faster walking pace, which can be beneficial for cardiovascular health. Monitoring cadence can also be useful for athletes and individuals looking to improve their walking performance or for rehabilitation purposes.
How to Calculate Walking Cadence?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Walking Cadence.
- First, count the number of steps taken during your walk.
- Next, measure the time (T) in minutes it took to complete those steps.
- Use the formula C = S / T to calculate the cadence (C).
- Finally, enter the number of steps (S) and the time (T) into the calculator to get your cadence.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Number of steps (S) = 500 steps
Time (T) = 5 minutes
