Meaning of % Grade
A 1% grade is not the same as a 1 degree incline. The % grade is the relationship of the
measurement of rise over the measurement of run (also called slope). For example, a 1 foot (meter)
rise in height over a length of 100 feet (meters) is a 1% grade. Expressed as a mathematical formula,
the grade is calculated as follows: 1 ft. (m) / 100 ft. (m) = 0.01 = 1%
With respect to treadmills, the percent grade is roughly equal to the increase in height (rise) of the
treadmill divided by the length (run) of the treadmill.
The degree of incline can be related to % grade by taking the Arctangent of the grade. For instance,
15% grade is equal to 8.53 Degrees (ArcTan(.15)=8.53º). The opposite is true to determine % Grade
from Degree of incline (Tan (8.53º)=.15).
