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
