Steps that count! : the use of pedometry for physical activity and health promotion in South Africa.
… recommendations, technological advancements in pedometry afford the opportunity to provide information on intensity-based steps/day. We therefore use this application to provide further insight into the association between pedometer-based physical activity and fitness and health outcomes. …

Human Activity Recognition using Hearing Aids
… conditions. The use of ear-worn sensors for pedometry was validated using commercial hearing aids with integrated accelerometers. Algorithms for the automatic assessment of timed up and go and sit to stand timing were proposed and validated on hearing aid accelerometer data. To improve HAR …

Voluntary physical activity : measurement and relationship to selected health parameters in rural black South Africans resident in the Limpopo Province, South Africa.
… Thirdly, we demonstrated novel approaches to pedometry data from a rural African setting, such that volume-intensity effects could be inferred, and using estimated energy expenditure whether current physical activity guidelines are met. Finally, we indentified that the current recommendations …

Exploring the Use of Wearables to Enable Indoor Navigation for Blind Users
… study is conducted to determine the accuracy of pedometry based on different body placements of the accelerometer sensors. Finally, a gesture detection system is introduced that helps communication between the user and mobile devices by using sensors in wearable devices.

Levels of physical activity in people living with chronic pain: Do they change after participating in a Chronic Pain Management Program?
… and objective measuring tools, including pedometry, were used to collect data and non-parametric analysis was conducted to analyse data. Results: 14 participants met the Inclusion criteria. Levels of physical activity changed markedly, but not significantly. Objectively-tested and …

Physical activity during recess and physical education class in children
Children do not acquire adequate amounts of physical activity (PA), there for it is important to identify opportunities to increase PA. The purpose of this thesis is to characterize PA during the school day, and to determine the effectiveness of a short term recess PA intervention. Children from …
