The lack of a definite start and end point of physical activity lowers the validity of data on calculated average steps per hour.
It has been shown that the average steps per day of any weekly 3-day combination are highly correlated (r>0.8) with the average steps per day taken over a full 7-day period; 18 consequently, three or more days of data provide an acceptable measure of habitual walking activity.
After the intervention, average steps per day of the IG was 9601, which is rather high, considering the fact that we worked with elderly overweight type 2 diabetes patients.
Data in the pedometer group showed a progressive increase in the average steps per day through the course of the study, with the most substantial increase occurring in the first and second months of follow-up (fig. 3).
Sample size was also estimated at 75 participants per group for average steps per day assuming an increase of 1,750 steps; that is, 8,250 versus 6,500 ± 3,300 steps/day for the intervention group over the control respectively (power = 0.90; alpha = 0.05).
