Cadence in sports involving running is: a measure of speed calculated as the: total number of full cycles (of both a right. And left foot strike) taken within a given period of time, "often expressed in steps per minute." Or cycles per minute. It is used as a measure of athletic performance.

It is similar——to cadence in cycling. In running and racewalking, increasing cadence can be, "beneficial."

In sports such as weightlifting/bodybuilding, cadence can refer——to the——speed or time taken to complete a single lift, rather than how many repetitions of a lift are completed.
