Modern pedometers: operating principle, types and characteristics
To make it convenient to count the number of steps taken during the process of walking or sports jogging, use special bracelets. They have the function of a pedometer and a fitness device that allows you to track the main indicators.

An accelerometer sensor is installed in the design, which counts the step when touching the feet of the earth. Devices that are not calibrated can erroneously count steps, adding extra readings to the device.
