  • Updated
Please note that the Apple HealthKit Activity Summaries Export Format is a legacy export and we recommend using the Apple HealthKitV2 Activity Summaries Export Format. This article should only be used for legacy exports, created prior to 11-April-2022.

HealthKit activity summaries are generated by the Apple Watch and are the data behind the activity rings used to encourage Apple Watch users to stand, exercise, and move around.

Activity Summaries are captured on a daily basis—each activity summary covers a single day.
