  1. Note Each step-counting pattern had different daily step counts. AD had the highest, followed by M and BP, then E. IN and IM had the lowest counts. In terms of duration, the BP pattern exhibited the longest activity duration per day, followed by AD, M and E patterns. IM and IN has the lowest duration of activity
