How it works
Walking conversions use distance = speed x time. Step length is estimated at about 41.5% of height for men and 41.3% for women unless you enter your own. Walking at 5 km/h or faster counts as moderate activity.
Reading your result
| Under 3 km/h | Slow |
|---|---|
| 3 to 4.5 km/h | Moderate |
| 4.5 km/h or faster | Brisk |
Physiotherapy treatment
Walking volume tracking is the core of physiotherapy for walking. After an assessment, your physiotherapist sets a plan built around progressive walking, progressed as your results improve. Hands-on treatment, pain relief and education are added where they help.
