About these units
Yard/Minute (yd/min)
A yard per minute is used in sports coaching, physical training, and some industrial processes. Coaches may track a swimmer's or runner's speed informally using yards per minute, especially in regions where yard-based pools or tracks still exist. Certain fabric and material-feed systems also use yd/min to specify production speed, as textiles and printing industries historically measured length in yards. The unit bridges athletic training and industrial applications in imperial-unit contexts.
Yard/Second (yd/s)
A yard per second is a moderately fast speed, equal to 3 ft/s or 0.9144 m/s, used in some athletic contexts—particularly American football or sprinting analysis. It provides an intuitive measure for sports where yard-based distances dominate. Because the unit aligns with common field dimensions, it simplifies performance evaluation in training and gameplay. The yard per second reflects the enduring influence of imperial measurements in American athletics.
