A pedometer is not only used to see how many meters and steps have been covered, e.g. B. when hiking or in the outdoor area, but is increasingly recommended in terms of health. He can not only measure his own movement behavior, but also change and increase it. More and more often people lose the need to move. Posture and daily movement are often restricted by modern developments and the various work areas. There is a lot of sitting and the muscles are hardly used. This in turn leads to a destabilization of the pelvis, the spine loses its elasticity and the intervertebral discs are no longer adequately supplied with nutrients and thus lose substance. If there is a lack of movement, the spine will curve, tension, herniated discs, headaches and similar symptoms. Insufficient exercise can also mean that the body no longer breaks down enough toxins or transports them with delay. Body cells need oxygen, as do the muscle groups that need the stimulus to maintain it. The metabolism has to be stimulated again and again through movement so that the organism can work healthily. In one study, it was repeatedly proven that counting one’s own steps with a pedometer stimulates people to move more and more extensively. This can reduce various risks, including heart and circulatory problems, as exercise stimulates blood circulation and fat burning, clears the body of toxins and waste products, and greatly improves nutrient delivery and processing. Many devices now have an integrated acceleration sensor in addition to the activation sensor. This enables the movement and acceleration to be measured at the point on the body to which the pedometer is attached. So it can also be worn on the leg or arm. Such devices can differentiate between strong, medium and light movement, as well as between different walking or running speeds and active movement without the steps. A higher or lower activity zone can also be set, which divides the intensity of the movement into number of steps, distance covered, energy consumption and even altitude measurement. Information on height, weight and age, step length and step size are set in advance in order to make the evaluation even more detailed.
