What is the difference between male and female stride lengths, and why?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) June 27th, 2012

Based on your own observations (you can back it up with data, if you want, but first state your own sense of what you see), what do you think is the relationship between male and female stride lengths, on average?

If there is a difference, how do you account for that difference? Is it physical? Social? A combination? What physical and/or social factors might explain any difference?

If there is a difference, does it make men or women walk any slower or faster than the other gender? Why or why not?

How would you characterize any other gender differences in walking that you have noticed?
