2017 Alberta Survey on Physical Activity /

13 Apr 2017

The top three useful functions of activity trackers, based on Albertans who own and use or plan to use an activity tracker in the future, are: • tracking steps (70%) • tracking distance travelled (68%) • tracking types of activity (61%) When examining physical activity levels and activity tracker ownership, only 24% of sufficiently active Albertans own and use an activity tracker. [...] Albertans who are 18 to 24 years of age, have an annual household income equal to or greater than $20,000, have moderate to high levels of general self- efficacy, have moderate to high levels of coping self-efficacy, have high levels of scheduling self-efficacy, and report access to a place to be physically active are more likely to achieve a sufficient amount of physical activity. [...] The Alberta Survey on Physical Activity data identified that females are most likely to own a physical activity tracker and that Albertans in the age categories of 25 to 34 years and 35 to 44 years were most likely to own and use their activity tracker.
