 Can a pedometer help improve health 
A pedometer can help with a person’s motivation, which could, in turn, affect daily activity levels and improve health. Participants in a 2019 workplace study stated that pedometers helped them improve their physical activity levels. However, it is important to note the study did not have many participants, and the researchers followed them over a relatively short period.

Another 2019 study suggests that short-term, pedometer-specific physical activity programs may provide long-term health benefits. Research also indicates that taking more steps in a day can reduce anxiety, depression, fatigue, and anger levels, in addition to lowering body weight. The results of a 2020 review of studies suggest that walking even just 1,000 more steps per day may lower overall mortality.

When to use a pedometer
If a person wants to track their activity throughout the day, they should put on their pedometer when they wake up and remove it when they go to bed. Doing this can help first-time users understand their usual activity levels and plan their exercise goals for the future. People can also wear pedometers when doing dedicated walking or other exercise sessions to see how many steps these exercise sessions encourage them to do.

What is the most accurate pedometer 
For a pedometer to accurately count steps, it needs to be sensitive enough to register movement from the hips and legs. There are two common types of pedometer: spring-levered and piezoelectric. Piezoelectric pedometers are typically more sensitive and, as a result, may be more accurate.

Spring-levered pedometers may be less accurate, depending on the position individuals use them in. Another device that records human movement is an accelerometer. A 2016 study compared accelerometers and piezoelectric pedometers and found the piezoelectric pedometer to be more accurate in counting steps when worn on either side of the body at the waist, such as on a wrist or in an inside trouser pocket.

It also features a 3D Tri-Axis sensor to ensure accurate step counts. According to the manufacturer, this sensor means a person can wear it in any position or keep it in their pocket, bag, or purse and still register accurate data.

For individuals looking for smart features, such as extra health tracking and comprehensive data, costs may significantly increase. Are expensive pedometers better  
More expensive pedometers may use more sensitive sensors, which can improve the accuracy of a person’s results. However, the accuracy of a pedometer may depend on where a person wears the device, its angle, and the person’s walking speed or intensity.

For example, according to a 2017 study, waist pedometers may provide more accuracy than wrist pedometers. Are pedometers water-resistant 
Many pedometers are water-resistant, meaning that they still work if a person walks with them while it is raining or wears them in the shower.

Summary
If a person needs some encouragement to move more during the day, a pedometer might provide motivation. A quality pedometer can provide an accurate step count and help people track and reach their movement goals. More advanced fitness trackers can provide detailed health and fitness information, such as heart rate or distance traveled.
