A total of 93 university students as 26 male (28%) and 67 female (72%) participated in the study. An updated Samsung Health application was installed to mobile phones of the participants. The pedometer application was detected to run actively. 100-step-test was applied to the participants with three different carrying ways (smart phone in the pocket, at hand and in the bag). The walking speed was determined as normal walking used in daily life based on 100/minute. During each walking, the steps were recorded through direct observation by the researcher. In the statistical analysis of the data, IBM SPSS 21 software program was utilized. Since the homogeneity of the variances and distribution of normality were not provided, Kruskall –Wallis H test was performed to compare the groups. In the one way variance analysis, One Simple t test was used. The smart phone brands were Samsung and others. In the comparison of the pedometer data gathered from the smart phones, Mann-Whitney U test was utilized. No significant difference was found between Samsung and other brands. In the 100 step walk test, males’ results were closer to real value compared to females. In conclusion, in the 100 step walk test, the most realistic scores were gathered by carrying the smart phone at hand. presently, the use of smart mobile phones is considered to be the most optimal tool for tracking the number of steps. Thus, the physical activity status of the masses, monitoring of the commonly used smart mobile phones and installed pedometer programs become important. © 2020, Ataturk Universitesi.
