Abstract
Stride lengths and stride frequencies of primates have been observed or collected from the literature. Data for Galago, various monkeys and apes, and man have been collected. The quadrupedal primates take longer strides, at any particular speed, than would be predicted for non‐primates. When they gallop they use lower stride frequencies than non‐primates of equal mass.Keywords
