“…However, they were able to enter their data on the website at any time. Participants received personalized feedback on progress via: 1) weekly weight and step graphical MMS charts that depicted the previous 5 weeks; and 2) a daily pedometer goal for the upcoming week, calculated by averaging the daily steps from the previous week and adding 750 until they reached a daily average of 12,000 steps, recommended for weight loss (Tudor-Locke et al, 2008). After 12,000 steps were reached, the focus changed to encourage increased PA time or work at a faster pace, also relevant for weight loss.…”

“…Each intervention participant’s long-term goal was to increase and maintain their step counts to 12,000 steps per day. 14 The intervention also included goals for achieving healthy reductions in total caloric and fat intake based on the DPP recommendations. In addition, intervention participants were advised to reduce consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages by replacing them with non-sweetened alternatives.…”

Introduction Mobile phone technology may be a cost-effective and convenient way to deliver proven weight-loss interventions and thereby prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to examine the feasibility and efficacy of a diabetes prevention intervention combined with a mobile app and pedometer in English-speaking overweight adults at risk for type 2 diabetes. Design RCT. Participants Participants included 61 overweight adults with a mean age (SD) of 55.2 (9.0) years. Seventy-seven percent were women, 48% were racial/ethnic minorities, and baseline BMI was 33.3 (6.0). Intervention The curriculum was adapted from the Diabetes Prevention Program, with the frequency of in-person sessions reduced from 16 to six sessions and group exercise sessions replaced by a home-based exercise program. A study-developed mobile phone app and pedometer augmented the intervention and provided self-monitoring tools. Main outcome measure Weight loss. Results Data were collected in 2012 and 2013 and were analyzed in 2014. In intention-to-treat analyses, the intervention group (n=30) lost an average of 6.2 (5.9) kg (−6.8% [5.7%]) between baseline and 5-month follow-up compared to the control group’s (n=31) gain of 0.3 (3.0) kg (0.3% [5.7%]) (p<0.001). The intervention group’s steps per day increased by 2,551 (4,712) compared to the control group’s decrease of 734 (3,308) steps per day (p<0.001). In comparison, the intervention group had greater reductions in hip circumference (p<0.001); blood pressure (p<0.05); and intake of saturated fat (p=0.007) and sugar-sweetened beverages (p=0.02). The intervention had no significant effect on fasting lipid or glucose levels. Conclusions The significant weight loss resulting from this modified combined mobile app and pedometer intervention for overweight adults warrants further investigation in a larger trial.

“…Wareham, et al [73] suggested that there is a requirement for a minimum of 45-60 minutes per day of moderate intensity physical activity to prevent the development of obesity but Slentz et al [74] have suggested that as little as 30 minutes of moderate physical activity per day would be sufficient for weight control. The consensus appears to be that an additional 3000 walking steps per day (equivalent to approximately 30 minutes of activity) over and above normal daily activity is necessary for a healthy lifestyle [75][76][77]. This goal could be achieved simply by increasing the activities of daily living rather than a formalised exercise prescription which might be difficult for individuals to adhere to.…”

BMI-Referenced Cut Points for Pedometer-Determined Steps per Day in Adults

Abstract: Background-The goal of this study was to establish preliminary criterion-referenced cut points for adult pedometer-determined physical activity (PA) related to weight status defined by body mass index (BMI).
