The current study reinforces
the intertrial consistency of speed and
stride rate over controlled walking and
jogging trials, and the interinstrument
consistency of simple lever-arm pedometers
for such research. The participants tended
to be slightly faster on the second trial,
which influenced the average HR, steps,
stride rate, and stride length. However, this
was a trivial effect and did not appear to
influence the reliability of the measurement
during both the walking and jogging trial.
