EXERCISE NO.1
I. OBJECTIVES
The following are the objectives of the study:
To determine the number of paces undertaking by an individual to a known distance.
To identify the different paces for every trials to a given distance.
To determine the average length of an individuals normal step.
II. PROCEDURE
Select a place or choose a stretch of level ground that is free of obstacles.
Select a point on the ground and mark it as point A. Place a range pole/mark on it.
From point A, lay down a 50-meter distance with the use of the steel tape.
Make sure that the 50-meter distance has been laid down first before placing a marking pin
every 5 meters along it.
At the 50-meter mark on the other end of the distance, mark this as point B and also place
the second range pole on it.
The group leader then gathers the members at point A .The following should be observed to
have an orderly exercise
all members of the group should walk from A to B on the left side of the tape and
should walk on the right side of the tape from B to A. Hence, the group moves in a
clockwise direction walking back and forth along the tape. This is to avoid walking
onto the others path that would great affect ones pace factor estimate
No two or more members should walk side by side or simultaneously, since ones
pace factor would be influenced by the other thereby not getting a good estimate of
ones pace factor.
Dont shout out loud when counting ones pace factor. This might affect the
counting of the other group members in your vicinity.
When your pace is a bit faster that the person in front of you, provide some
distance between you and that person.
Upon reaching point B, the student fills up the tally sheet. He/she records the total
number of paces it took him/her to cover the 50-meter distance.
From point B, the same procedure is repeated, covering the 50-meter distance back
to point A.
The number of trials for this exercise would be 7. The student should record the
total number of paces at the end of each trial.
