这项研究调查了计步器的反馈是否会激励成年人增加他们的步行行为。参与者（n=26）参加了两个8周之一。“步行健身”课程。该研究采用交叉设计，例如第1组在前3周佩戴计步器（反馈条件），在最后3周佩戴密封的“伪装”计步器（无反馈条件）。第2组的反馈顺序相反。分析表明，（a）两组均未随时间显著增加其步行行为，（B）在第3周或第6周，组间相互作用不显著，表明各组对计步器反馈的反应无差异。如果计步器的激励效应存在，它可能很小，在3周前消失，只与目标设定相结合，或者只激励某些类型的人。
This study investigated whether feedback from pedometers motivated adults to increase their walking behavior. Participants (n=26) were enrolled in one of two 8-wk. "Walking for Fitness" classes. The study used a crossover design, such that Group 1 wore pedometers for the first 3 weeks (Feedback Condition) and sealed "disguised" pedometers for the last 3 weeks (No-feedback Condition). The order of feedback was reversed for Group 2. Analysis indicated that (a) neither group increased their walking behavior significantly over time and, (b) interactions between groups were not significant at Week 3 or 6, indicating that groups did not respond differently to feedback from the pedometers. If a motivational effect from pedometers exists, it may be small, dissipate before 3 wk., only work in combination with goal setting, or only motivate certain types of individuals.
