Is there really any benefit to tracking all your runs? 🤔
, study coauthor and clinical assistant professor at the University of Florida’s College of Public Health and Health Professions, “fitness trackers may motivate people to move for [a little while], but it may not be enough to make people exercise [an amount] that is significantly associated with health outcomes.”
However, some functions of fitness trackers—say, like hourly reminders to get your steps in or competitions between friends—may prompt people to move and then reward them for their activity, so this acts as an incentive to exercise, Jo said.If this seems like a catch-22, that’s because it kind of is.
“If fitness trackers help people not only to [just] move, but also to exercise for about 15 to 20 minutes or more, it may benefit health outcomes,” she said. But if you’re only getting a few steps in, you’re probably not getting the recommended amount of physical activity needed to prevent health problems down the line., adults should get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes per week of high-intensity aerobic exercise—or a combination of both.
If you use your fitness tracker to help motivate you to meet the above criteria, then there’s a good chance you’ll reap the health benefits that come with regular exercise.Danielle specializes in interpreting and reporting the latest health research and also writes and edits in-depth service pieces about fitness, training, and nutrition.
