How This is Calculated
Distance = steps × stride length (default 0.762 m for average adult). Calories burned ≈ 0.04 kcal × body weight (kg) per 100 steps. The 10,000-steps/day target originates from a 1960s Japanese walking program and has been validated in multiple large-cohort studies as a meaningful activity threshold.
