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 to 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 the 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.

For more information, see
