Step-based physical activity metrics and cardiometabolic risk: NHANES 2005-2006
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-02)
Purpose: This study aimed to catalog the relationships between step-based accelerometer metrics indicative of physical activity volume (steps per day, adjusted to a pedometer scale), intensity (mean steps per minute from ...
How fast is fast enough? Walking cadence (steps/min) as a practical estimate of intensity in adults: A narrative review
(BMJ, 2018-05-31)
Background: Cadence (steps/min) may be a reasonable proxy-indicator of ambulatory intensity. A summary of current evidence is needed for cadence-based metrics supporting benchmark (standard or point of reference) and ...
Pilot study of impact of a pedal desk on postprandial responses in sedentary workers
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2018-10)
Physical inactivity has been linked to rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease through insulin resistance and other mechanisms. Although sedentary workplace environments have unintentionally contributed to the risk ...
Cadence (steps/min) and intensity during ambulation in 6-20 year olds: The CADENCE-kids study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-02-26)
Background: Steps/day is widely utilized to estimate the total volume of ambulatory activity, but it does not directly reflect intensity, a central tenet of public health guidelines. Cadence (steps/min) represents an ...
