Technical Details

  • Variable Type: Discrete Metric
  • Data Type: Float
  • Units: % of height
  • Column Name: stride_length
  • Aggregation: mean
  • Precision: 0
  • Calculation: Distance between the dominant ankle at initiation and the lead ankle at foot contact, normalized by height
  • Optimal Direction: Higher is better

Description

Stride length measures the length of the stride as a percentage of the athlete’s height. It is calculated as the distance between the dominant (drive-side) ankle position at initiation and the lead ankle position at foot contact, normalized by the athlete’s estimated height.

Use Cases

  • Stride analysis
  • Mechanics evaluation
