Table 2: Raw (cm) and relative (% leg length, %LL) characteristics of participants' stride during self-selected cadence (SS) and 10 steps per minute faster than SS (SS + 10) and including Pearson r-correlation values with respect to changes in V̇O2 are shown with P-values.
Parameter | Mean ± SE | Range | Correlation with Δ V̇O2 |
SS stride length (cm) | 108 ± 5 | 83.3-131.5 | 0.355 (0.234) |
SS stride length (%LL) | 120 ± 5 | 93-144 | 0.162 (0.597) |
SS cadence (spm) | 163 ± 3 | 147-184 | -0.171 (0.577) |
SS + 10 stride length (cm) | 102 ± 4 | 78.4-123.4 | 0.351 (0.240) |
SS + 10 stride length (%LL) | 113 ± 4 | 88-135 | 0.162 (0.596) |
SS + 10 cadence (spm) | 173 ± 3 | 157-194 | -0.171 (0.577) |
Δ stride length (cm) | -6.3 ± 0.3 | -4.9--8.1 | -0.381 (0.199) |
Δ stride length (%LL) | -7.0 ± 0.3 | -5.7--8.7 | -0.232 (0.445) |
