Height

This setting strongly affects the maximum rate at which steps can be identified by the StepWatch. In general, a person's height is inversely related to step rate. A taller person will often have a slower comfortable and maximal step rate than someone shorter.

If you do not know your client's height, give your best estimate. If you are off by a few inches, your accuracy will not be greatly affected. If you are estimating, it's better to guess shorter than to guess taller unless your client is prone to restless, fidgety movements.
