Spring-levered versus Piezo-Electric Pedometer Accuracy in overweight and obese adults

Article Abstract:

The effects of body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and pedometer tilt were examined on the accuracy of a spring-levered pedometer and a piezo-electric pedometer during treadmill walking and over a 24-hour period in overweight and obese adults. A piezo-electric pedometer is found to be more accurate than a spring-levered pedometer, especially at slower walking speeds, and the most important factor influencing the accuracy of the spring-levered pedometer.
