Activity/Time Calculations

Note: To sort your days by any measure click on the title bar for that measure in your statistics table.

Sustained Activity Measures: Max 1, Max 5, Max 20, Max 30, Max 60
Each of these measures is derived by scanning the included time of a day with a "window" of the designated width (1, 5, 20, 30 or 60 minutes) and extracting the maximum number of steps achieved at any continuous interval of that duration. That maximum is then divided by the duration of the interval to give the average steps per minute of that best performance.

For example, for the 60-minute sustained activity calculation, the steps between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM are summed. Then the steps between 12:01 AM and 1:01 AM are summed. That process is continued for the entire day (or entire included time). The maximum sum is divided by 60 to give the 60-minute score for the day.

Activity Index: Best 30 Minutes
The Activity Index represents the average step rate of the highest 30 minutes of the included time in a day, regardless of when they occurred. This differs from the Sustained Activity Measures in that the performance does not have to fall within any continuous time block (other than the day).
