In summary, when instructed to walk at a
moderate pace, healthy young adults tend
to walk at an average pace that is greater
than that recommended for meeting current
public health recommendations. Similarly,
when instructed to jog at a comfortable
pace, healthy young adults tend to jog at a
speed greater than that corresponding to
vigorous intensity PA. The results of the
reliability analysis indicate that in healthy
young adults, researchers investigating
walking and jogging, and PA professionals
wishing to reliably measure typical walking
and jogging patterns can use a pedometer
to measure steps (and subsequently stride
length), and need only two trial with one
pedometer (or one trial with two
pedometers) for walking trials, or a single
trial for jogging.
