Introduction: APecR was a self – health profiling program with natural physical activity which came to one APecR = 138 Kcl burnt and was registered as one measured unit or patterned (LY2019004970- 28/8/19). Method: Field experimental to justify the effectiveness of APecR as profiling tool. 21 participants voluntarily as they were from previous study with continuity another 3 cycles (3 months’ time, same year).
