How to use the calculator

  1. Enter your height in centimeters (cm) in the first input field.
  2. Enter your step height in centimeters (cm) in the second input field. This is the vertical distance your foot rises during each step.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute your stride length.
  4. The result will be displayed in centimeters (cm).

Understanding Stride Length

Stride length is the distance covered by your body from the moment one foot leaves the ground until the same foot touches the ground again. It's twice the length of your step length (distance from one foot strike to the next).

Applications of Stride Length

  • Running and walking efficiency analysis
  • Proper running shoe selection
  • Fitness tracking and training programs
  • Rehabilitation assessments
  • Biomechanics research

Important Notes

The accuracy of the calculation depends on the accuracy of your input values. For more precise measurements, you may want to measure your actual stride length using a measuring tape over a known distance and compare it with the calculated value.
