Pedometers are used to build fitness.

Step counters, or pedometers as they are technically known, are small, lightweight, and practical devices that can be carried in a pocket or attached to a belt. They are used to analyze the step frequency taken within a specific time period.

Pedometers are very easy to use.

Carrying such a device is useful for all outdoor activities and sports when you want to analyze your step frequency over a specific period. These devices can be used not only for sports, but also for walking or simply running to determine your daily activity level. They are very easy to use. The pedometer simply fits in your pocket or is attached to a belt. Various models with different attachment options are available. With one exception, all devices operate on a battery or rechargeable battery, the power of which should be sufficient for the intended usage time. Once switched on, the device records all movements and counts them as steps. The frequency is displayed. The display can be reset and restarted if necessary.

Are there different types of counters?

The ASMC shop offers various types of devices that can be attached in different ways. They also come in a range of sizes, allowing customers to choose the right device for their needs. Pedometers, such as those from Silva, are known for their ease of use and low battery consumption. Many models feature an integrated button cell battery, which can last up to a year depending on usage and is very easy to replace. Pedometers are available at various price points and can be color-coordinated with clothing.

Expert tip: Your smartphone can also function as a pedometer.

With the right app, a modern smartphone, with its many sensors, can of course also function perfectly as a pedometer. The phone's motion/vibration sensor is frequently queried, and the app quickly registers the steps of a moving person. However, this quickly reveals the biggest drawback of this solution: the battery life of smartphones. Such a constantly active app, which is also querying sensors, naturally consumes a lot of power.

Questions: Pedometer

What happens to the count when a break is taken?

For example, when hiking you naturally take breaks. Modern pedometers simply stop during these breaks, as they recognize this.

How exactly do these devices work?

Since these devices typically use a small mercury contact or an electronic (gyro) sensor, inaccuracies are inevitable. Uneven ground or an irregular walking rhythm can exacerbate this effect.

How are the devices attached to the body?

Many models can simply be slipped into a trouser pocket. Some have straps for hanging around the neck. Others, however, come with a wristband so they can be fastened around the arm or leg.
