隐藏原文=

Sometimes it's hard to get moving.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So setting a goal for the number of steps you walk each day can be a good motivator.

隐藏原文=

But how to keep track of your total?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

A new study finds that many of the widely available wearable step counters actually keep a pretty accurate count.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The research is in JAMA.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

For the study, 14 volunteers agreed to walk on treadmills while decked out with 10 popular wearable or smartphone counting technologies.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

The devices were compared with actual manual counts of either 500 or 1,500 steps.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

So how'd they do?

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Smartphone apps were better step trackers than wearable tech, but the wearables were not terrible either.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

They typically slightly undercounted, compared to manual tallies, for example.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Some of the discrepancy between the apps and wearables could be because volunteers' phones were in a pocket close to their hips where it may be easier to pick up specific movements.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

But in everyday life smartphones would not always be in a pocket, of course.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Of the 10 apps or devices studied, the Fitbit One was most accurate and had good consistency.

点击显示原文

隐藏原文=

Although none of the counts were that far off, for example, clocking just 1,200 steps instead of 1,500, the findings suggest that it's probably a good idea to take the numbers as a loose estimate.

隐藏原文=

And if you can't walk somewhere, you can still feel motivated to park a few hundred steps away from your final destination.

隐藏原文=

Thanks for the minute, for Scientific American 60-Second Health. I'm Dina Fine Maron.
