ACTIVITY BENEFIT
Activity benefit gives you feedback on the health benefits that being active has given you, and also on what kind
of unwanted effects sitting for too long has caused for your health. The feedback is based on international
guidelines and research on the health effects of physical activity and sitting behavior. The core idea is: the more
active you are, the more benefits you get!
Both Flow app and Flow web service show the activity benefit of your daily activity. You can view the activity
benefit on daily, weekly and monthly basis. In the Flow web service, you can also view the detailed information
on health benefits.
