How Many Steps/Day Are Enough? (2004, background): “[12-14]Aggregated evidence of convergent validity (relative to other measures of physical activity)[15]and construct validity (relative to measures of health outcome) provides”
Comparison of two waist-mounted and two ankle-mounted electronic pedometers (2005, result): “mounted pedometers also enhances comparability with previous studies (Le Masurier et al. 2004; Le Masurier and Tudor-Locke 2003; Schneider et al. 2004; Tudor-Locke et al. 2001, 2002a, b). Finally, waist-mounted pedometers have greater ease-of-use, and are well suited for behavioral interventions s”

Using pedometers to increase physical activity and improve health: a systematic review. (2007, methodology): “Sixteen studies used the Yamax pedometer (Yamax Corp, Tokyo, Japan)—a model that has been well validated for accuracy and reliability and is frequently used in physical activity research.(41-44) The physical activity interventions evaluated in the included studies varied considerably: mean (SD) dura”
How many steps/day are enough? for adults (2011, methodology): “The NHANES accelerometer data were adjusted to facilitate interpretation on a pedometer-based scale, since accelerometers typically detect more steps than pedometers [19,20].”
