About these units
Centimeter/Second (cm/s)
A centimeter per second is widely used in hydrology, biology, and physics to measure modest fluid flows, blood velocities, small organism movement, or lab-scale chemical transport. In medicine, cm/s is important in Doppler ultrasound, where blood flow speeds in arteries and veins are routinely measured. In physical sciences, cm/s appears in low-speed fluid mechanics experiments, sediment transport studies, and oceanographic microcurrent analysis. It offers a convenient, human-comprehensible scale for small but dynamic systems.
Running Speed (run)
Human running speeds range widely: Average jogging (2.5–3.3 m/s or 9–12 km/h), Sprint speeds (8–12 m/s or 29–43 km/h). Elite sprinters can exceed 12 m/s, with Usain Bolt's peak reaching approximately 12.4 m/s. Running is biomechanically complex, involving elastic energy return, stride mechanics, ground-reaction forces, and cardiovascular performance. Sports science uses running speed to evaluate training outcomes, optimize gait, prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance. Running speed provides a window into human physical capability and evolutionary adaptations.
