“…Walking-based activity was defined as ≥2 steps/min and sedentary behavior was defined as 0 steps/min 27,28. For each participant, each minute of data for each day was categorized into the following bands: 1) 2-18 steps/min (incidental movement); 2) 20-38 steps/min (sporadic movement); 3) 40-58 steps/min (purposeful steps); 4) 60-78 steps/min (slow walking); 5) 80-98 steps/min (medium walking); 6) 100-118 steps/min (brisk walking); and 7) ≥120 steps/min (fast walking).…”

Similar cadence bands, albeit arbitrary, were used by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to explore differences in walking-based activity in a general population 27. For each day, time spent engaged in walking-based activity and sedentary behavior as well as the time spent in each cadence band was expressed both in minutes and as a percentage of total wear time.…”

ObjectivesTo compare walking-based activity and sedentary behavior between males with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy controls and to examine the association between dyspnea with time spent in walking-based activity and sedentary behavior in males with COPD.MethodsThis cross-sectional study of 30 males with COPD (age 62.0±5.0 years; forced expiratory volume in one second [FEV1] 46±15% predicted) and 29 healthy controls (age 63.0±4.3 years; FEV1 91±5% predicted) was conducted at the outpatient pulmonary clinics at King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between February 2013 and March 2014. Walking-based activity and sedentary behavior were evaluated using an activity monitor.ResultsParticipants with COPD spent less time engaged in walking-based activity (22±8% versus 37±7% of waking hours; p<0.001) and more time engaged in sedentary behavior (78±8% versus 63±6% of waking hours; p<0.001) than healthy controls. In males with COPD, moderate to strong associations were found between the scores of the quality and emotional response components of the Dyspnea-12 (D-12) questionnaire and time spent engaged in walking-based activity and sedentary behavior (r: ≥0.46, all p<0.01).ConclusionMales with COPD were less active and more sedentary than healthy controls. The D-12 components were associated with walking-based activity and sedentary behavior in males with COPD.

“…This may require revision of the current 'aerobic' classification used by the pedometer, as determined in recent studies. [8,[21][22][23][24][25] The general information provided to the IG and CG was the same irrespective of individual progress towards improved ambulatory PA. Depending on the extent of available resources, tailored feedback can be provided at an individual level based on the level of progress.…”

Background. The emergence of the pedometer as a useful motivational aid for increasing physical activity (PA) has supported its use in PA interventions. Objectives. To examine the feasibility of a 10-week pedometer-based intervention complemented by regular motivational messages, to increase ambulatory PA; and to determine the minimum sample size required for a randomised, controlled trial (RCT). Methods. Participants, sourced by convenience sampling of employees from an academic institution, were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (IG) (n=11) or control group (CG) (n=11), following baseline health measurements and blinded pedometer wear (week 1). Participants in the IG subsequently wore an unblinded pedometer (10 weeks) to self-monitor daily steps. Individualised messages using pedometer data (IG) and general motivational messages (IG and CG) were provided bi-weekly. Blinded pedometer wear (IG and CG) and a feedback questionnaire (IG) were completed at week 12. Pedometer data were compared between the IG and CG at week 12.Results. Participants' perceptions of the intervention supported the benefit of the pedometer as a useful motivational aid and a reminder to increase steps per day. Occupational sitting time and inability to incorporate PA into daily routine emerged as the main barrier to adherence. Steps per day increased more in the IG (mean ± standard deviation (SD) 996±1 748) than in the CG (mean±SD 97±750). Modest improvements were noted in all clinical measures (IG). Conclusion. Based on the improvement of 1 000 steps/day (IG), a minimum of 85 participants in the IG and CG, respectively, is required for a future RCT (80% power; p<0.05). We recommend a minimum of 150 participants in each group to account for loss to follow-up and to allow for subgroup analyses.

“…In this research we are primarily targeting people in the early Action stage, in which walkers often do not know what the target cadence feels like and tend to walk too slowly for the main cardiovascular benefits of walking [33]. Many people wanting to exercise outdoors find that listening to music can help and encourage their walking [16].…”

-Meeting the target of 8000 steps/day, as recommended by many national governments and health authorities, can provide considerable physical and mental health benefits and is seen as a key target for reducing obesity levels and improving public health. However, to optimize the health benefits, walking should be performed at a "moderate" intensity. While there are numerous mobile fitness applications that monitor distance walked, none directly support walking at this cadence nor has there been any research into live feedback for walking cadence. We present a smartphone fitness application to help users learn how to walk at a moderate cadence and maintain that cadence. We apply real-time audio effects that diminish the audio quality of music when the target walking cadence is not being reached. This provides an immersive and intuitive application that can easily be integrated into everyday life as allows users to walk while listening to their own music and encourages eyes-free interaction. In this paper, we introduce our approach, design, initial lab evaluation and a controlled outdoor study. Results show that using music degradation decreases the number of below-cadence steps, that users felt they worked harder with our player and would use it while exercise walking.
