Title: The Walking Lab is an observation of 18 participants that walk a timed paced at a set distance. 9 participants walk forward and the other 9 participants walk backwards. The timed distance is collected for further discussion. Introduction: The Walking Lab is an observation of the time and speed of 18 participants walking 1 lap. The participants are separated into two groups. The first group, Group A has 9 people that walk backwards. The second group, Group B has 9 people that walk backwards. 9 people are walking forward to a specified distance versus 9 people that walk backwards to the same location as the forward walkers. The objective of this experiment is to observe the participants as they walk the distance and time their efforts. Participants walked at their personal set pace forwards or backwards. The objective of the experiment is to discuss whether the participants in Group A would walk faster than the participants in Group B. As an educated guess, there is no difference in the average time for 9 people walking forward to a specified distance and 9 people walking backwards to the same specified distance. Materials and Methods: 18 participants are used to obtain an accurate observation. The participants are separated into two groups. Group A consist of 9 people that walk backwards. Group B consist of 9 people that walk forward. After the participants are separated a set distance is decided. There is no set pace that the participants are expected to follow. While the participants walk the specified distance an appointed time keeper records the time it takes the participant to walk in minutes and seconds. After all of the participants time is recorded the time keeper converts the minutes into seconds. The next step taken is calculating the mean of each group and the 95% confidence interval for actual mean. The materials used are: 18 participants,
