After you finished the activity, make a note or save the fitness data on your performance, and return to this website to manually report the collected data by entering the values to our survey. Please make sure all this happens within the next 3 days. You can monitor the task expiration date on Amazon MTurk.

Collect data on:
- walk or run time (minutes:seconds) within the interval of 15-20 minutes (you won’t be able to enter another duration)
- distance (miles or km)
- average pace (minutes per mile or minutes per km)
- fastest pace (minutes per mile or minutes per km)

You may save this information in PDF or print it by using the "Save as PDF" button below.
Please scroll down for more information on Settings.

Here is an example screenshot from the app’s History menu that contains all information to be reported manually:



Note!
Within the 15-20 minutes exercising, it is up to you how long exactly you engage in the physical activity, as is distance and intensity of the activity.

Remember to dress up adequately, warm-up before the activity, and stretch afterwards.

Do not exercise above your optimal intensity, which you can easily determine by checking your breathing.

As a rule of thumb, as long as you can talk during the activity, you are exercising in your optimal intensity range.









Settings

Please follow the instructions below on Settings in the Walkmeter app.

Before you start using the app, please enter your Weight, Age, and Gender information into the Settings of the app. This data is used by the app to calculate Energy Burn. See screenshots below on how to do this.





If you scroll down in Settings, you can add information on Steps. Since most of these services are only available in the upgraded version, please use the default settings when collecting the data. Make sure, Indoors is switched OFF. Internet Access is not necessarily important to collect the data, therefore it is up to you, whether you use it.

In Advanced Settings, please turn Location Services ON, as well as Calories Use Elevation. Use the default settings for the Calories Scaling Factor. Turn Dampen Ascent/Descent OFF, and use the default settings for Ascent/Descent Tolerance.





By returning to the Stopwatch Menu, you can Start, Stop, or Reset data collection. You will then find all necessary data under the History Menu, as shown above in the first screenshot. Please make sure to make a note or save the fitness data on your performance, and return to this website to manually report the collected data to our survey.


Enjoy your outdoor activity and see you within 3 days!
