    This document outlines procedures for determining an individual's pace factor and measuring distance by pacing. It involves walking predetermined courses multiple times to count paces, then using the average paces and a measured distance to calculate the pace factor. That factor is then used to determine the distance of another paced course. The objectives are to find the pace factor and measure distance through pacing.

    FIELDWORK #1- PACING GROUP-2 BCE211F (1385)

    OBJECTIVES

    a) To determine individual pace factor.


    b) To measure distance by pacing.

    PROCEDURE

    1. Determine Pace Factor.


    a) Select a straight and level course and on both ends establish markers at least 60 meters apart. Designate
    these end points as A and B.
    b) Walk over the course at a natural pace or gait starting with either heel or toe over point A and count the
    number of paces to reach point B.
    c) For succeeding trials, walks from B to A, then A to B until 5 trials are completed, and the number of
    paces recorded accordingly.
    d) Refer to the accompanying sample format for the recording of observed field data

    2. Measuring Distance by Pacing.


    a. Define or establish the end points of another level course whose length is to be determined by pacing.
    Designate these end points as C(A) and D.
    b. For the first trial, walk over the course from C to D at a natural pace and record the number of paces.
    Then, walk from D to C and again record the number of paces.
    c. Repeat the above procedure until all five trials are completed.
    d. After the field data is recorded, make an actual taping of the course CD to determine the taped distance.

    COMPUTATIONS

    1. Computing Pace Factor (PF)


    a) Get the sum of the number of paces for the five trials performed on course AB then compute the mean
    number of paces.
    b) Divide the known or taped length of course AB by the mean number of paces for AB to determine the
    pace factor.
    2. Computing Paced Distance (PD)
    a) Get the sum of the number of paces for the five trials performed on course CD and compute the mean
    number of paces.
    b) Multiply the mean number of paces for CD by the pace factor to obtain the paced distance.
