Characteristic pace as determined by the use of a tracking treadmill.

Journal of Applied Psychology 1967
It was found that when subjects walked on a tracking treadmill under a 'comfortable-but-determined' (C-D) walking instructional set for a minimum of 30 min on each of three testing days: (1) subjects demonstrated a characteristic C-D pace that was stable on any given day; (2) subjects' C-D pace differed statistically from each other (P < 0.001); and (3) subjects' C-D pace measures were most reliable between testing days 2 and 3 (P < 0.01).
