# predicateForWorkoutActivities(workoutActivityType:)

Returns a predicate for workout activities based on the type of activity performed.

## Declaration

```swift
class func predicateForWorkoutActivities(workoutActivityType: HKWorkoutActivityType) -> NSPredicate
```

## Parameters

- `workoutActivityType`: The type of activity. For a list of valid workout activities, see doc://com.apple.healthkit/documentation/HealthKit/HKWorkoutActivityType.

## Mentioned in

Dividing a HealthKit workout into activities

## Discussion

Discussion To use this predicate, call predicateForWorkouts(activityPredicate:) to wrap this predicate inside a workout predicate. You can then use the workout predicate in your query. The following example creates a predicate that matches workout activities with a HKWorkoutActivityType.running type. let runningActivityPredicate = HKQuery.predicateForWorkoutActivities(workoutActivityType: .running)

let workoutPredicate = HKQuery.predicateForWorkouts(activityPredicate: runningActivityPredicate)
