摘要

近年來電腦科技的進步、智慧型手機、平板電腦的流行，以及網路普及率提升，造成身體活動減少的坐式生活型態問題愈來愈嚴重。身體活動不足即代表能量消耗的減少，此種現象日積月累後，隨之而來的是國民的肥胖比率逐年攀升，產生了更多健康上的問題。其中，兒童及青少年時期肥胖者，成年後肥胖的機率很高，因此預防肥胖應從兒童及青少年時期開始。但國內的兒童及青少年課程時數長、補習盛行、課業壓力隨年齡增加，每天花在書桌前的時間十分漫長，普遍身體活動量不足。如何提升國內兒童及青少年的身體活動量，是刻不容緩的議題。以計步器作為監測身體活動量的工具，不僅方便配戴、操作簡單、價格低廉，其顯示的步數，一般民眾及未成年孩童也能輕易理解，更能鼓勵使用者從事更多身體活動。這幾年計步器的概念也融入了手機、手錶等電子產品中，讓社會大眾更便於了解自己的身體活動。提升國人主動從事身體活動以促進健康的意識，是政府、專家學者及教育者須努力的目標。
