Percent accuracy for pedometers across treadmill walking speeds. The OM and LC pedometers were worn during treadmill speeds of 53.6, 67.0, 80.4, 93.8, and 107.2 m/min, for five minutes at each speed. A researcher manually counted the steps the participant engaged in, and the pedometers’ accuracy in measuring the actual steps (percent of total steps measured) were calculated by the following equation: (actual steps – measured pedometer steps) * 100.
