No, but the main other measurement you can use - distance - doesn't account for that either. What does account for it is 'step intensity' which they did control for.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoTo me the real yardstick is what it does to your heart rate, but I'm not aware of any tracker that records heart rate other than during activities.
