Journal of American Medical test highlights how manual monitoring of physical activity may be more effective for losing weight
Are you armed with good will and a fitness tracker but results are slow in coming? You’re not alone. According to a recent study in the Journal of American Medical, tech devices for tracking physical activity not only don’t make you lose weight but in fact may even make you fat.
The study. The data collected by the study spans from 2010 to 2014 and included 471 participants. These people were divided into two groups. The first ones manually documented the results of their daily physical activity. The second used automated programs to track their daily movement. Le persone di entrambi i gruppi hanno seguito una dieta a basso contenuto calorico e sono stati invitate a praticare uno stile di vita attivo. Dai risultati è emerso che le persone che hanno monitorato manualmente le attività fisiche hanno perso più peso rispetto a chi ha utilizzato un fitness tracker.

The same Fitbit has encouraged the users of fitness tracker not to make confusion. Monitoring one’s physical activity doesn’t automatically mean getting results. Just as it’s not enough to have good standards of physical activity if you don’t follow a proper diet. In short, technology, for the moment, in the diet helps us if we are the first to help it.
