Abstract

A group of ten males and ten females ranging in body mass index (BMI) from 19.8 to 35.4 kg.m (super -2) wear two pedometers for a 24-hr period to compare the step values of multiple brands of the machine. The brands, Kenz Lifecorder (KZ), Yamax Digi-Walker SW-200 (YX200), New-Lifestyles NL-2000 (NL) and Yamax Digi-Walker SW-701 (YX701), of pedometers are found to be more suitable for research purpose as they were more accurate than the others used.
