Second Grade Students' Cognitive Understanding Of Heart Rate Monitors And Pedometers
… teachers are using are heart rate monitors and pedometers to assess the students' levels of physical activity (Blair et al., 2007). However, it is uncertain if elementary students better understand the results from the pedometer, or the heart rate monitor. A study of eight-second grade students …

The use of pedometers and the '10.000 steps/day'-concept in the promotion of physical activity
… Recent interventions used step counters or pedometers, mostly in combination with step count goals, to encourage physical activity. In general, the pedometer was found to be an effective intervention tool in the United States, Australia, and Japan. However, no European data on physical …

Examination of Adolescent Physical Activity and Overweight Levels
… Adolescents, ages 12-17 (N = 223), wore pedometers for 11 consecutive days and completed a nutrition survey, the Youth Adolescent Questionnaire. Activity levels did not differ among the ages of 12-17 year old adolescents, and boys were more active than girls. There was a low, but …

The effect of outdoor activity context on physical activity in preschool children
… design. Consequences were not programmed. Pedometers were used as a convergent measure of physical activity. In general, all participants were fairly sedentary during the analysis. Fixed playground equipment produced the most moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, a finding that does not …

Steps that count! : the use of pedometry for physical activity and health promotion in South Africa.
Pedometers have been demonstrated as a practical tool for measurement and motivation of ambulatory physical activity, typically providing information on volume of steps/day. Recent developments in steps/day research have, however, emphasised the importance of intensity-based steps as part of …

Physical activity during recess and physical education class in children
… Children from two schools (N=75, ages 7-10) wore pedometers for five days. A subset of subjects (N=17) also wore accelerometers. Step counts were recorded 9-10 times/day to obtain PA information for six daily periods. Males were more active than females (P<0.001, 12.331, 9439 step/day …

The Effects of Choice on Student Motivation and Physical Activity Behavior in Physical Education
… (SIMS) was administered pre and post each unit. Pedometers were used to measure step counts during both units. Results of the SIMS data showed there was a significant difference in motivation between the trials for all students, and between the groups (pre and post) during the second unit. There …
