How many steps does an average person take?
- 1. How many steps does an average person takes a day? Case study
- 2. Introduction Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier but every wondered ● How many steps do you take a day? ● How many steps we take for a week or a month? Its more than actually you have ever imagined
- 3. Objective of the study To analyse how many steps and distance does a person cover in a day, week and month.
- 4. Limitations of this study: ● This data collected for this study is only from one subject using the Moto 360. ● Analysis is taken from approximately 16 hours a day. ● Few days will have zero reading as the Moto 360 was not used.
- 5. Moto 360 Moto 360 tracks your daily steps and distance. In addition to this, it also calculates the calories you burn, whether you’re active or at rest.
- 6. Methodology of the study All data from this study is taken from Moto 360 which the subject wears (including at home) for approximately 16 hours a day.
- 7. Profile of the subject ● Gender: Male ● Age: 27 yrs ● Height: 164 cms ● Weight: 52.5 kgs ● Body Mass Index: 19.52 ● Step Length*: 63 cms (approximately) ● Known diseases or sickness: None ● Country: United Kingdom *Step Length is explained on the next slide
- 8. What is a step length and how to measure it? Step length is the distance between the point of initial contact of one foot and the point of initial contact of the opposite foot. In contrast, stride length is the distance between successive points of initial contact of the same foot. The distance of the step length depends on how many steps you take Example: If your step length is 60 cm and the Moto 360 (or any pedometer) has recorded 6,000 steps The distance calculation is 0.6 (60 cm) x 6000 (steps) = 3600 (meters) / 1000 (meter in a Km) = 3.6 km. You have stepped 6000 steps which equates to 3.6 km.
