How to Monitor Your Physical Activity?

Ivo Darko Gabrić

Sažetak

Regular physical activity at any age is connected with a reduced risk of almost all diseases. However, despite the increased awareness of the need for physical activity, the incidence of obesity and cardiovascular diseases is on the rise. The cause for this is the lack of adherence and regular tracking of physical activity. The development of mobile technology for tracking physical activity has been of great help in the last couple of years. The benefits of using such technology have been confirmed in numerous controlled studies, as well as in everyday life. No matter what device, programme or mobile application is used to track physical activity, regular usage is essential. Systematic tracking of daily, as well as weekly and monthly activity trends enables better control of variation between the planned and performed activity. As a result, healthcare professionals are provided with an individual approach to the determination of necessary activity, depending on age, physical condition and possible chronic diseases.
