Summary

This study will measure how fast 360 healthy young people (ages 6-20) need to walk to get health benefits. Researchers will track steps per minute and heart rate to create simple, personalized walking guidelines. The goal is to replace vague advice like 'walk briskly' with clear step counts that kids, parents, and doctors can use.
