The Pokewalker is one of the most accurate pedometers ever!
A few years back, pedometers became popular. This little devices that you wear somewhere on your body count how many steps you take.
As they got more advanced, they began to count other things like calories. The question always arose about just how accurate they were though.
Iowa State University tested a number of different pedometers to see which was most accurate. Twenty-two children and 8 adults walked for specific lengths of time on a treadmill to see which pedometer was best.
The Pokewalker - a pedometer that converted steps to experience points in the Pokemon video game - was the most accurate. Steps. Gotta catch them all.
