Abstract :
This study was conducted to statistically recognize the walking, jogging, and running activities by using accelerometers build-in a smartphone. Using the smartphone causes the user need not to carry another device more. The advantage of the study is to observe remotely any movement of an interested person at all time so the observer can manage appropriate program for exercise, monitor energy consumption, or evaluate calorie compensation. The method used for the recognition applied the statistical analysis: descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, F-test, and t-test.
