The health benefits of a physically active lifestyle across a person's lifespan have been
established. If there is any single physical activity behaviour that we should measure well …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: Laboratory studies of adult walking behavior have consistently found that a
cadence of 100steps/min is a reasonable threshold for moderate intensity. The purpose of …

Background Previous studies have reported that walking cadence (steps/min) is associated
with absolutely-defined intensity (metabolic equivalents; METs), such that cadence-based …

Background: Analysis of the 2005–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) accelerometer data provides the descriptive epidemiology of peak 30-minute …

Purpose: The term cadence has been used interchangeably to describe both the rate of
stepping and the number of steps in a minute epoch. This is only strictly true if walking is …

Background Heuristic (ie, evidence-based, rounded) cadences of≥ 100 and≥ 130
steps/min have consistently corresponded with absolutely-defined moderate (3 metabolic …

Background In younger adults (ie, those< 40 years of age) a walking cadence of 100
steps/min is a consistently supported threshold indicative of absolutely-defined moderate …

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 …

Background Walking outdoors can be used by many individuals to meet public health
guidelines for moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity. The speed at which adults …
