The daily step count is an important indicator of physical activity that can be used for goal-setting and motivating behavioral change. This article reviews current evidence to determine activity goals for common health conditions and discusses factors to consider when counseling patients on physical activity.
An activity goal of 10,000 steps per day is widely known but was not initially developed based on scientific evidence. The last several years have seen an increase in both the availability of consumer-based step counting devices and research examining the link between daily step counts and various health outcomes. Daily step counts are an intuitive metric of physical activity and are useful for goal-setting and motivating behavioral change. This article reviews the current evidence for daily step counts as related to common health conditions to determine activity goals to prescribe to patients, and also discusses factors to consider when counseling patients on physical activity.
