The belief has spread through high profile global step fitness challenges and the prevalence of relatively cheap, accurate digital step counters. However, before we all became fixated with collecting our own personal health stats and viewing everything as units of \u2018steps\u2019, there was a time when such a practice was peculiar: namely the 1970s* [* or, any other time but for narrative purposes let\u2019s say the 1970s].<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 580px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img0.etsystatic.com\/015\/0\/6056191\/il_570xN.430480572_10z1.jpg\" width=\"570\" height=\"760\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pedometer from the 1970s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Back then, pedometers were hardly known and were mainly used as a medical instrument.

The potential effect of the level of physical exertion and rates of coronary heart disease [CHD] had then only recently been indicated, with the MRC trial of anticoagulant therapy on myocardial infarction (1969) noticing that rates of CHD were more frequent and fatal within inactive workers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The follow-up study involved randomly selected Whitehall Study volunteers receiving an invitation from Dr Geoffrey Rose, the study\u2019s lead investigator, whether they would be willing to participate in the study.

Mr Broadbent noted that \u2018<em>this pedometer over-registered mileage by about 50%. Suspecting this, I timed myself over a 40-minute walk in Seaford. I walked fairly briskly and covered probably about 2 miles. The pedometer showed 3 miles<\/em>\u201d.
