stride length
Distance per footfall
Stride length is the distance covered in a single stride—measured from where one foot contacts the ground to where the same foot lands again.
In running and walking analysis, stride length combines with stride rate to determine speed.
She increased her stride length to cover more ground.
Often confused with step length, which measures heel to heel between opposite feet.
