Speed Analysis

Measurement of Distance Traveled, Speed of Locomotion, and Body Motion Analysis of a Person Under Free-living Condition

IDEEA can analyze locomotion in free-living conditions with high accuracy, down to every steps made. The up-left graph shows the instantaneous speed of a person while she was walking (first 3 segments) and running (last 3 segments) on a track, at 100 meters each segment. The up-right curve shows the cumulative distance traveled (locomotion). You can see the highly accurate results measured by the IDEEA physical activity monitor. Note that 100 m equals 0.062 mile, thus total distance = .062 x 6 = 0.372 mile. Also note that the flat segments represent resting periods between activities. The speed distribution (bottom left) was selected for walk analysis, which has 3 distinctive distributions.
