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)
