Stepping—encompassing walking, running and stair-climbing—is the fundamental mode of human movement. Higher stepping volume and intensity is associated with favourable health outcomes. 1 2 Over the last quarter of the century, stepping has declined by over 1000 steps per day (7%–13% of total count, 3 roughly equivalent to~ 10 min of brisk walking). As a simple ‘objective’measure of ambulatory physical activity, formal stepping-based recommendations may provide a target that is easy to understand and monitor. As self-monitoring of steps may be an effective physical activity intervention, such recommendations may support more people to be sufficiently active. This editorial discusses the opportunities and challenges surrounding the addition of stepping-based recommendations to future guidelines.
