While intelligent technology facilitates people's lives, it also causes more office workers or students to sit at their desks for long periods of time, leading to health concerns. Compared to other group sports or sports that require professional equipment, running is the simplest, most efficient, and easy to implement. For professional track and field athletes or amateur running enthusiasts, a precise pedometer is a basic equipment configuration. The number of steps can indirectly reflect the exercise volume and speed of the exerciser, providing good data support for more scientific and reasonable fitness exercises. The purpose of this review paper is to sort out the current research status of pedometers and provide theoretical support for the interdisciplinary research of sports science, behavioral science, and computer science. In addition, this article analyzes the step counting data analysis and its application value in the era of large language models.
