There is a widely circulated view that walking 10,000 steps a day is enough. Is that true? It seems to be different from our body. Sometimes it feels easy to see that I have walked 10,000 steps on the smart watch, and sometimes I have not reached 10,000 steps after a lot of effort. Why is this happening?
According to research, the number of steps produced by walking in daily life does not contribute much to fitness. Only serious exercise can have an effect, that is, walking for a certain time and reaching a certain speed can achieve the effect of fitness. Therefore, the number of steps given by the smart watch is not all valid. It is necessary to know the effective number of steps during serious exercise to accurately understand the actual amount of exercise for fitness.
According to WHO’s recommendations, adults aged 18–64 should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or do at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity. However, based on the number of steps, floors, distance, and calories given by the smart watch, it seems difficult for us to judge whether the current amount of exercise meets the standard.
Based on the above problems, ActFace proposed a solution to use an intuitive method to evaluate the amount of exercise, specifically to score the amount of exercise. Like student exams, the score range is 0-100. If the score is less than 60, it means that the amount of exercise is not enough; 60-85 is qualified and the amount of exercise is up to the standard; 85-95 is good, and the exercise is relatively good; 95-100 is excellent, indicating that exercise Very well. Over 100 points means excessive exercise and should be avoided.
----------
There are two versions, ActFace is a digital Watch Face and ActFaceA is analog Watch Face. The current analog Watch Face version is relatively full of functions, and the ActFace digital Watch Face does not yet have some functions required for hiking and mountaineering scenes. Both versions can be downloaded from Garmin Connect IQ Store.
