A Review of Problem and Approaches to the University Students in Malaysia Toward Using Wearable Fitness Technology

Wearable fitness technology (WFT) is a device worn physically on the human wrist to track body activity through the calculation of one's heart rate and calories burned from the number of footsteps walked. Users of WFT utilise the device for the monitoring of body fitness. As WFT devices are pop...
