“…[12] The implication of this, in keeping with our findings, emphasises the emerging importance of intensity-based steps. As such, the need for public health messages that emphasise the importance of both intensity and volume of steps/day is particularly pertinent.…”

“…Similarly, the difference was more marked among women (1 684 steps/day) than men (1 019 steps/day). [6] A popular public health message relating to pedometry is the 10 000 steps/day concept, which shows positive health outcomes in those achieving this target compared with those not achieving 10 000 steps/day, [6,[11][12][13] while a steps/day value of <5 000 steps/day has generally been classified as inactive. [18] Within the context of the 10 000 steps/day guideline, Miller and Brown [6] demonstrated that the accumulation of 10 000 steps/day did not always correlate with meeting guidelines.…”

“…This is primarily due to the fact that pedometers traditionally presented volume-based information, with little or no reference to intensity or duration of intensity-based ambulatory physical activity or its relationship to current physical activity guidelines. With more recent literature providing intensity-based step recommendations (such as 3 000 steps in 30 minutes), [11][12][13] the need to incorporate elements of current guidelines, including volume, intensity, duration and frequency of physical activity, into pedometer-based messages has therefore become an area of increased research. Such research continues to strengthen so as to ensure congruency between pedometer-based recommendations and physical activity guidelines.…”

Background.The association between self-perceived and actual physical activity, with particular reference to physical activity guidelines, may be an important factor in determining the extent of uptake of and compliance with physical activity. Objectives. To examine the association between self-perceived and actual physical activity in relation to physical activity guidelines, with reference to volume, intensity and duration of steps/day, and to establish the level of agreement between pedometer-measured and selfreported ambulatory physical activity, in relation to current guidelines. Methods. A convenience sample of adults (N=312; mean (standard deviation) age 37 (9) years), wore a pedometer (minimum 3 consecutive days) and completed a questionnaire that included information on physical activity patterns. Analyses of covariance, adjusted for age and gender, compared volume-and intensity-based steps according to meeting/not meeting guidelines (self-reported). The extent of agreement between self-reported and pedometer-measured physical activity was also determined. Results. Average (SD) steps/day were 6 574 (3 541). Of a total of 312 participants' self-reported data, those meeting guidelines (n=63) accumulated significantly more steps/day than those not meeting guidelines (8 753 (4 251) v. 6 022 (3 114) total steps/day and 1 772 (2 020) v. 421 (1 140) aerobic steps/day, respectively; p<0.0001). More than half of the group who self-reported meeting the guidelines did not meet guidelines as per pedometer data. Conclusion. The use of pedometers as an alternative and/or adjunct to self-reported measures is an area for consideration. Steps/day recommendations that consider intensity-based steps may provide significant effects in improving fitness and health.S Afr J SM 2014;26(3):77-81.

“…The American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended that individuals accumulate 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, on most days of the week, preferably every day (Pate et al, 1995). There is evidence that only 38%-50% of women reached 10,000 steps/day on any single day, even with a prescribed 30-minute walk (Wilde et al, 2001). We assume that a goal of 10,000 steps/day is tentative, and a 30-minute period of daily walking, which is equal to about 3,000 steps increment, combined with diet, is practical to reduce obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases for a sedentary population.…”

Recently, many cross-sectional studies observed that body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat (%BF) were inversely associated with pedometer-determined physical activities, but studies on Asian populations, including the Japanese, are sparse. Height, weight, body fat percentage (%BF, bioelectrical impedance analyzer), and waist circumference were measured on 117 women (62.8Ϯ4.5 years, 22.2Ϯ2.2 kg/m 2 ) and 62 men (64.0Ϯ4.6 years, 23.6Ϯ2.5 kg/m 2 ). Pearson correlations and partial correlation coefficients after controlling for age were calculated between steps/day and variables. Furthermore, participants were classified into four groups as follows: Ͻ5,000, 5,000-7,499, 7,500-9,999, and Ն10,000 steps/day, and analyzed using ANOVA across activity groups. In women, a significant correlation was found between steps/day and BMI (rϭϪ0.217, pϭ0.018), %BF (rϭϪ0.292, pϭ0.0014), and the relationship was still significant after controlling for age. The relationship between steps/day and waist circumference was not significant. In men, a significant relationship was not observed between steps/day and obesity indices. The correlations between steps/day and both BMI and %BF were significant in Japanese women, but weak compared with Caucasian and African-American women as reported previously. A possible cause is racial difference in degree of obesity and body shape. The effects of physical activity on body shape and composition may differ according to race.

“…By adding as little as 2,800 to 4,500 steps per day (above what was achieved in the intervention), 3-4 days a week, women who participated in WBA would increase their likelihood of meeting the current public health recommendations for PA (Jordan, Jurca, Tudor-Locke, & Church, 2005). Since the traditional recommendation of 10,000 steps per day (Hatano, 1993) has been criticized as an unreasonable goal for daily step counts of normally sedentary individuals (Sidman at al., 2004;LeMasurier, Sidman, & Corbin, 2003;Wilde, Sidman, & Corbin, 2001), the increase in their physical activity is significant given the baseline inactivity level of these women.…”

Increasing physical activity (PA) has become a national health objective due to its associated health benefits, but low participation rates. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of an 8-month (September 2006 -April 2007) PA book club (Women Bound to Be Active-WBA) in increasing PA and self-worth (SW) among women. Fifty-six adult women participated in an 8-month intervention consisting of weekly meetings designed to improve PA knowledge, awareness, confidence, and SW. Results indicated a significant increase in PA and SW. The WBA program represents a creative theory-based approach to empowering women to be more active.
