INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that wearing a fitness tracker damages the body?

Unclear. Several studies of fitness trackers report no physiological harm and some fitness benefit, but none directly tests the broad claim that wearing a fitness tracker damages the body. The evidence only partially addresses the claim.
