About these units
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.
Centimeter/Minute (cm/min)
A centimeter per minute is a very slow but measurable speed, ideal for documenting the movement of small mechanical devices, capillary flow, microfluidics, or slow conveyor systems. Medical applications include infusion pump rates, which may sometimes be described in cm/min when relating to catheter insertion or microdroplet transport speed. Because centimeters align with everyday physical intuition, this unit strikes a balance between precision and accessibility in niche scientific applications.
