    Abstract

    The purpose of this study was to collect preliminary physical activity data of Hong Kong secondary school students during their physical education lessons, extra-curricular activity, and the whole regular school days. Physical activity was measured in terms of the step count device - pedometer. Preliminary findings suggested that gender difference existed and diversified trends were observed. Further investigations were necessary to understand the underlying factors in order to promote physical activity in school settings.
