Pedometer indices for weekly physical activity recommendations in postmenopausal women

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to quantify pedometer-determined steps per day associated with 50, 100, and 150% of the public health recommendation for weekly physical activity in sedentary postmenopausal women. Results suggest that initially sedentary postmenopausal women can meet 50, 100, and 150% of the public health recommendation of weekly physical activity through planned moderate-intensity walking, accumulating an average of about 2800, 5500 and 6500 steps.
