Title: Pacing

Objectives: To determine the individual Pace Factor and to measure distance by pacing.

Instruments and Accessories: Range Poles, Markers, Steel Tapes

Procedures:

1. Determining Pace Factor.

a. Select a straight and level ground and on both ends establish points at least 30 meters apart
and designate these points A and B.
b. From point A walk over these level ground at a natural pace and count the number of paces
to reach point B. Pacing is either heel-to-heel or toe-to-toe.
c. For five trials, walk over point B to A, then A to B, until five trials are completed.
d. Record/tabulate the number of paces of each trial using the table.

2. Determining distance by pacing.

a. Establish an end points of another level ground and designate these as points C and D.
b. From point C, walk over these level ground at a natural pace and count the number of paces
to reach point D.
c. For five trials, walk over point D to C, and then C to D, until five trials are completed.
d. Record/tabulate the number of paces of each trials using the given table.
e. Determine the actual distance of CD by actual taping.
