چکیده

BACKGROUND This study compared the validity of a new Omron HJ-303 piezoelectric pedometer and 2 other pedometers (Sportline Traq and Yamax SW200). METHODS To examine the effect of speed, 60 subjects walked on a treadmill at 2, 3, and 4 mph. Twenty subjects also ran at 6, 7, and 8 mph. To test lifestyle activities, 60 subjects performed front-back-side-side stepping, elliptical machine and stair climbing/descending. Twenty others performed ballroom dancing. Sixty participants completed 5 100-step trials while wearing 5 different sets of the devices tested device reliability. Actual steps were determined using a hand tally counter. RESULTS Significant differences existed among pedometers (P < .05). For walking, the Omron pedometers were the most valid. The Sportline overestimated and the Yamax underestimated steps (P < .05). Worn on the waist or in the backpack, the Omron device and Sportline were valid for running. The Omron was valid for 3 activities (elliptical machine, ascending and descending stairs). The Sportline overestimated all of these activities, and Yamax was only valid for descending stairs. The Omron andYamax were both valid and reliable in the 100-step trials. CONCLUSIONS The Omron HJ-303, worn on the waist, appeared to be the most valid of the 3 pedometers.

Reliability and validity of gait analysis by android-based smartphone.

Smartphones are very common devices in daily life that have a built-in tri-axial accelerometer. Similar to previously developed accelerometers, smartphones can be used to assess gait patterns. However, few gait analyses have been performed using smartphones, and their reliability and validity have not been evaluated yet. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of ...

Performance of a pedometer to measure physical activity in a U.S. cohort with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective assessment of physical activity (PA) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important. We examined the performance of the Omron HJ-720ITC pedometer. A sample of 176 persons with stable COPD wore the Omron and the StepWatch Activity Monitor (SAM) in the clinic and the community. A 4 s step filter in the Omron screens out erroneous intermittent steps; it captures continuous ...

The Accuracy of Pedometers in Measuring Walking Steps on a Treadmill in College Students

Pedometers are a popular way for people to track if they have reached the recommended 10,000 daily steps. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of four brands of pedometers at measuring steps, and to determine if a relationship exists between pedometer cost and accuracy. The hypothesis was that the more expensive brands of pedometers (the Fitbit Charge™ and Omron HJ...
