How many steps/day are enough? Preliminary pedometer indices for public health.

TL;DR: This article evaluates popular recommendations for steps/day and attempts to translate existing physical activity guidelines into steps/ day equivalents and proposes the following preliminary indices be used to classify pedometer-determined physical activity in healthy adults.

Beyond body mass index

TL;DR: It is argued that BMI continues to serve well for many purposes, but that the time is now right to initiate a gradual evolution beyond BMI towards standards based on actual measurements of body fat mass.

Metabolic equivalents (METS) in exercise testing, exercise prescription, and evaluation of functional capacity

TL;DR: Energy expenditure values for numerous household and recreational activities in both METS and watts units are presented and a convenient method to describe the functional capacity or exercise tolerance of an individual as determined from progressive exercise testing is provided.
