Influence of weather variables on physical activity assessed by accelerometry across age and gender groups by Teresa Bento, Sónia Morgado, José Leitão, Maria Mota

“…Time spent in physical activity, average daily steps, and weather variables were gathered and analysed to explore the influence of weather on PA and compliance with the PA recommendations. In result, environmental factors may have a weak influence in an individual will to engage in PA, and individuals highly committed to an active lifestyle (based on the number of steps taken per day) did not seem to be influenced by any of the weather variables. …”
