A guide to the implementing a pedometer-based physical activity intervention, Step by Step, in workplaces

Abstract

Step by Step is a self-administered pedometer walking program developed by researchers at the University of Sydney. It is a low-cost, easy to implement intervention shown to be effective at increasing people’s levels of physical activity in several community-based studies. More recently Step by Step has been implemented in 43 workplaces from a range of industries. The guide outlines the methods and provides the resources used in the trial where Step by Step was implemented in workplaces.
