I'm not...I'm talking about in a NFHS game since the NFHS manual was brought up and dismissed.

Is 13,000 steps a lot? I'm not really up on this, but I kind of have it in my head that this is about 6.5 miles. Over 6 games. Probably 4-5 hours. Not really much of a pace. (And consistent with what I would have thought)

I've been using a FitBit since April 2014. I have the little one (not the wrist band) that I keep in my pants pocket during games. I think I paid about $50 for it. I actually use it as my possession arrow tracker. I have found that about 2200 steps equals a mile for me. A varsity boys game usually logs about 2.3 miles. I've been wearing it this summer for youth games on Saturday mornings. I've logged 12,000-14,000 steps over a 4 game stretch. It also estimates calories burned which is what I really purchased it for.
I don't know if it's actually helping me with my fitness level but I think it's a neat way to measure and maintain activity levels. Tracking is done with a smart phone app. I've got a couple fellow officials in my association that have bought them as well. You can actually "connect" to them and watch their progress along with your own through the app. IMO, it's a cool application of new technology. If it isn't actually improving my fitness level, it's at least helping me keep track and be aware of it.

I use the Garmin Vivofit, and kept it in my pocket during regular season games, but I have worn it on my wrist for the summer games. The number of steps shown in previous posts are similar to my results. I am interested to see what it will show for the upcoming football season.
Also, I where my celtic cross under my compression shirt for all games and nobody has ever noticed it was there. |

Here's one article: Tracking fitness? Why 10,000 steps a day may not be enough - TODAY.com I do have some "step tracker" on my phone. I was nearly always at 13 - 14k steps per day even without any running (I did not carry the phone when running) and I have a desk job. |

If yours, being used for straight line running, is always under the distance, then the stride length needs to be set to a higher value.

Celtic Cross ...
Mine is tattooed on my right upper arm. It can't be seen when covered by a shirt sleeve on a shirt.

I think what many don't realize is that 10K is what the minimum should be. Those looking to improve fitness, lose weight, etc, need to do more.

This got me thinking...I never thought to check to see if there was a setting for stride length...there is. I'm going to adjust it tonight. I have 4 games Saturday...I'll report back the results Sunday.
