The Vernier Go Direct Respiration Belt has a built in pedometer that will be used in this experiment. As a result it can be used to measure cadence when walking or running. Cadence is defined as the number of steps a subject takes per minute.Ī pedometer is a device that can be used to monitor steps and step rate. Cadence is another word that is commonly used for step rate. This leads to an increase in the step rate of the barefoot runner. Without the padding provided by traditional running shoes, barefoot running tends to minimize heel strike. Traditional running technique emphasizes a heel-to-toe foot strike during each stride. This experiment was designed to investigate the effects of barefoot running, a running trend popularized by Christopher McDougall in the book Born to Run.
