Hi,

Let me try to help clarify on this one:

  • Feet per step measures stride length (how much distance is covered with each step).
  • Steps per second measures cadence (how frequently steps are taken).
Neither of these alone gives speed.
To find speed, we need distance per time, which is:
= (feet/step) * (steps/second)

Hope this helps! :)

Hi can expert help explain the difference between feet per step and step per second? And why should combine these two data to solve the question?
