LAB EXERCISE NO.

1
PROBLEM : PACING
OBJECTIVES : (a) To determine individual pace factor.
(b) To measure distance by pacing.

A. INSTRUMENTS & ACCESSORIES : Range Poles, Tape, Chalk or Crayons


B. PROCEDURE:
1. Determining Pace Factor.
(a) Select a straight and level course and on both ends establish markers at least 30 meters apart.
Designate these end points as A and B.
(b) Walk over the course at a natural pace starting with either heel or toe over point A and count
the number of paces to reach point B.
(c) For succeeding trials, walk 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.

Trial Line Taped Number of Mean number Pace Factor


Dist. (m) Paces of Paces (m/pace)
1 AB
2 BA
3 AB
4 BA
5 AB

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 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.
(e) Refer to the accompanying sample format for the recording of observed field data.

Trial Line Number Mean Paced Dist. Taped Relative


of Paces Dist. Precision
1 CD
2 DC
3 CD
4 DC
5 CD

C. 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.

3. Computing Relative Precision (RP).

(a) Determine the difference by the taped distance of CD and the paced distance of CD.

(b) Divide the difference by the taped distance of CD and reduce the numerator to unity to
determine the relative precision.
