A new study has revealed the amount of steps you take per day could lead to a reduction in depression symptoms.
Spanish researchers have debunked the earlier finding that 10,000 steps a day is the optimal amount - and revealed that 7,000 will translate to better mental health outcomes.
UK correspondent Enda Brady unpacks the results of the study - and reveals the role step trackers can play in generating positive results.
