Pedometers
Study compares pedometers
Which pedometers are the most accurate for step counting, distance estimating, and calorie expenditure estimating? A University of Tennessee research group compared 10 pedometers.
The study found that all of the pedometers recorded too many steps at slower speeds, but improved when walking at faster speeds. The researchers used a treadmill and visually counted steps to compare what was recorded by the pedometers. They also placed pedometers on each hip and compared the totals between them to see how reliable they were in tracking the same motion by the same person.
Most Accurate PedometersThese pedometers recorded steps with 99% accuracy:
