1 Introduction
The OMRON Walking style X can measure the intensity and
amount of exercise from your walking, in addition to
measuring the number of steps and the number of calories
burned. This makes it a useful guide for planning an exercise
program based on the intensity and amount of activity. These
are expressed as METs for intensity of exercise and Ex
(Exercise) for the amount of exercise.
■
METs (Metabolic equivalents)
Indicates the intensity of exercise as a ratio to the intensity
used when resting. On average, when sitting at rest we use
1 MET, when walking at normal pace (4 km/h) we use
3METs.
■
Ex (Exercise units)
Indicates the amount of exercise as Ex quantity.
This is the intensity of exercise multiplied by time (hours). A
shorter period of vigorous physical activity will equal 1 Ex
more quickly than more leisurely activity will.
×
•Walking at 3METs for 1h: 3METs
• Walking at 3 METs for 30 min: 3 METs
1h = 3Ex
×
0.5 h = 1.5 Ex
* The (2007) guidelines from the American College of Sports
Medicine recommends at least 30 min of exercise of 3 METs or
more per day (refered to in Chapter 13).

5.1 Determine your stride length
Measure your stride length first for
accurate measurement.
How to measure your stride length?
Correct stride length is from a tip of your
10
foot to another one. To measure the
correct average stride length, divide the total length of 10
steps you walked by the number of steps (10).
Calculate the stride length as shown in the following formula.
Example: When you walk 5.5 meters, 5.5 m (total length) /
10 (number of steps) = 0.55 m (55 cm)
