Pedometers help build endurance

Pedometers, the technical term, are small, lightweight, and practical devices that can be carried in a trouser pocket or attached to a belt. They are used to analyze the step frequency covered within a certain period of time.

Pedometers are very easy to use

Carrying such a device with you is useful for all outdoor activities and sports if you want to analyze how high your step frequency was over a certain period of time. These devices can be used not only for sports, but also for walking or simply running when you want to determine how much movement you get in a day. Operation is very simple. The pedometer is simply placed in your trouser pocket or attached to a belt. There are different models with various attachment options. With one exception, all devices are powered by a battery or rechargeable battery whose energy reserves should be sufficient for the intended period of use. After being switched on, the device records all movements and counts them as steps. The frequency is shown on the display. The display can be reset and restarted if required.

Are there different types of counters?

The ASMC shop offers various types of devices that can be attached in different ways. The sizes also vary so that the customer can match the device to their needs. The pedometers, for example from Silva, impress with their ease of use and low battery consumption. Many models have a button cell integrated. Depending on how often it is used, this can last for up to a year and is very easy to replace. The pedometers are available at different prices and can be colour-coordinated with your clothing.

Expert tip: Your smartphone can also function as a pedometer

With the help of a suitable app, a modern smartphone with its many sensors can of course also be used very well as a pedometer. The phone’s motion or vibration sensor is queried very frequently, allowing the app to quickly detect the steps of a moving person. However, the biggest disadvantage of this solution soon becomes apparent: the battery life of smartphones. Such a permanently active app that also polls sensors naturally drains the battery.

Questions: Pedometer

What happens to the count when a break is taken?

For example, when hiking you naturally take breaks. Modern pedometers simply pause during this time because they detect this.

How exactly do these devices work?

Because they usually work with a small mercury contact or an electronic (gyro) sensor, inaccuracies are bound to occur from time to time. Uneven ground or an irregular walking rhythm can amplify this effect.

How are the devices attached to the body?

Many models can simply be slipped into a trouser pocket. Some have cords so they can be worn around the neck. Others, however, come with a strap so they can be fastened around the arm or leg.
