What does reset fitness calibration mean?

I am trying to calibrate my new watch to have more accurate fitness tracking when I walk. Support says to calibrate for 20 minute walk and then “reset fitness calibration.” What does this do?

Apple Watch, watchOS 4.1, Apple Watch series 1

The instructions help you calibrate your AW1 without GPS to measure distances using your iPhone with GPS.


excerpt:

Calibrate your Apple Watch

While wearing your Apple Watch, go to a flat, open outdoor area that offers good GPS reception and clear skies.

If you have Apple Watch Series 2 or later, you just need your Apple Watch. If you have Apple Watch Series 1 or earlier, bring your iPhone for GPS. Hold your iPhone in your hand, or wear it on an armband or waistband.

Open the Workout app. To start, tap Outdoor Walk or Outdoor Run. To set a goal before starting, tap the ... icon.

Walk or run at your normal pace for about 20 minutes.
