This thesis is focused on the possibility of using data about total number of steps for a certain time unit (per minute or throughout the day) to classify the intensity of physical activity (especially moderate and vigorous) it also marginally deals with the possibility of evaluating the intensity of physical activity using heart rate data. According to internationally recognized standards, an adult should spend at least 30 minutes (60 minutes is recommended for children) a day in moderate intensity physical activity, or 15 minutes (30 minutes for children) in vigorous intensity physical activity. Many studies focused on adults agreed that the cadence of around 90-110 steps per minute is optimal for achieving moderate intensity of physical activity, but the height, age and gender of individuals also play an important role. For children, this value is around 120 steps per minute, but age is much more important than gender....
