Great to see support for step-based measurement of physical activity coming from PAGAC, ACSM and other professional bodies. More work required, but it's a STEP in the right direction. @ACSMNews https://t.co/Z4KQDIhK5O

Kick off #NationalPublicHealthWeek by checking out this article in @runnersworld and see what Scott Ducharme from the Physical Activity and Health Lab has to say about the health benefits of walking! https://t.co/XnoJgdUEJo

FREE: The 10K steps idea is a reasonable start but it's very primitive. Want to learn more? How fast is fast enough? Walking cadence (steps/min) as a practical estimate of intensity in adults: a narrative review https://t.co/983KSYTjg9 Thanks Prof Tudor-Locke.

[Team Tudor-Locke @TudorLocke]

@BJSM_BMJ @M_Stamatakis Or a more crude method that allows retrospective evaluation - use a pedometer during a 30 min walking bout and divide steps by time to get steps/min. In our experience, it has been much easier for participants in our studies to remember 100 steps/min than %HRmax or HRR reserve.

[Team Tudor-Locke @TudorLocke]

@BJSM_BMJ As @M_Stamatakis said, walking at or above 100 steps/min is MVPA.There a few wearables that now also display cadence. Or you could count steps for 15 s x 4.

More evidence supporting walking for health! Also, the video animation is a great way to disseminate findings to a broad audience. Nice work @narrowboat_paul and co.

Fantastic presentation from @mbuman on using wearable sensors to measure behaviors across the 24 h cycle. There are distinct challenges when combining PA, SB and sleep data, but the resulting data allows for novel insights in to health behaviors and outcomes

@MarieHMurphy @ElaineMurtagh @jacquelinelmair Love it! 😆 And yes, I'm working on the meta-analysis!

[Team Tudor-Locke @TudorLocke]

Team @TudorLocke stepping up its game. We are officially on the twittersphere - stay tuned for all things walking, steps/day and cadence!

[Team Tudor-Locke @TudorLocke]

@MarieHMurphy I didn't even realize that 😛...ours is the inverse of yours!

A nice interview (https://t.co/sG9Qqxhadl) with Dr. Stuart Chipkin on our recent pedal desk study - 2 hours of light intensity pedaling sufficient to decrease insulin levels, while work productivity was unaffected.

@DL_Gregory23 Thanks for the plug!

Very excited to share the publication of our first paper from the CADENCE-Adults study - https://t.co/0rciInKP7Z. For 21-40 year olds: ~100 steps/min = 3 METS, ~130 steps/min = 6 METs. Stayed tuned for results from cohort 2 (41-60 years) and 3 (61-85 years) #teamtudorlocke
