Frequently Asked Questions
How is stride length calculated from height?
In exercise physiology, average walking stride length is estimated as height × 0.415 for men and height × 0.413 for women. A 175 cm person takes approximately 72.6 cm per step.
Why does step length matter for cardio health?
Adults with longer, brisk strides engage greater hip extensor (gluteus maximus) and calf musculature, burning more metabolic energy per kilometre than short shuffling strides.
How many kilometres is 10,000 steps?
For most adults between 160 cm and 180 cm tall, 10,000 steps equates to approximately 7.2 to 8.2 kilometres (4.5 to 5.1 miles).
