Setting the Length of Continuous Activity Bouts
The activity guidelines for adults stipulate that they should accumulate 30 minutes of MVPA physical activity on most days of the week. For children, the guidelines stipulate 60 minutes or more of MVPA. In addition, some of the MVPA activity should be accumulated in continuous bouts of MVPA without stopping. For adults, the recommended length of continuous activity bouts is 10 minutes and for children 15 minutes. The pedometer will measure continuous bouts of MVPA activity. The length of bouts can be set from 5 to 20 minutes in intervals of 1 minute.
