The development of the habit of exercise is necessary for workers whose daily occupation prevents them from doing physical activities. However, few workers have acquired this habit of exercise. To motivate such workers, the validity of a calorie counter combined with an accelerometer (KENZ Calorie Counter or KENZ Calorie Counter alpha) was tested as a motivation tool for acquiring this habit. The subjects of this study were 14 volunteers. After 7 days' preliminary measurement of their physical activities by a calorie counter, they continued to measure the energy consumption of their physical activities over one month. Ten volunteers were able to continue the measurement, but 4 volunteers dropped out. The energy consumption of physical activities after one month measurement significantly (P less than 0.001) increased to 70% more than that of the preliminary measurement. At the present time, nine volunteers are continuing to measure their daily energy consumption. The results suggest that the measurement of one's daily physical activities by a calorie counter is one of the best ways to develop the habit of exercise.
对于那些日常工作使其无法进行体育活动的工人来说，养成锻炼习惯是很有必要的。然而，很少有工人养成这种锻炼习惯。为了激励这类工人，测试了一种结合了加速度计的卡路里计数器（健司卡路里计数器或健司卡路里计数器阿尔法版）作为养成这种习惯的激励工具的有效性。本研究的对象是14名志愿者。在用卡路里计数器对他们的体育活动进行7天的初步测量后，他们继续测量了一个多月的体育活动能量消耗。10名志愿者能够继续测量，但4名志愿者退出了。经过一个月的测量，体育活动的能量消耗显著增加（P小于0.001），比初步测量时高出70%。目前，9名志愿者仍在继续测量他们的每日能量消耗。结果表明，用卡路里计数器测量一个人的日常体育活动是养成锻炼习惯的最佳方法之一。
