Validity of the Omron HJ-112 Pedometer during Treadmill Walking
TL;DR: The Omron HJ-112 pedometer validly assesses steps in different BMI groups during constant- and variable-speed walking; other than that in the pants pocket, placement of the pedometer has little effect on validity.

TL;DR: Correlations between the PDR and the activPAL were high, systematic reporting errors were low, and the validity of the P DR was comparable with the ActiGraph, suggesting it may have value in studies of physical activity and health.
Journal ArticleDOI
