I would like to do a clean iOS install as I would like to see if it will help my iPhone 7 battery life. It is pretty bad right now. I don't want to lose all my hard earned Activity data though. Is there any way to do a clean iOS install but preserve all my Activity data?
[doublepost=1513837154][/doublepost]I'm pretty sure I have my answer but just want to make sure. Health (and Activity data) are synced to iCloud. When enabling this on the clean install it will repopulate all the data. Is this correct?

Yep, have done this myself and all data came back including all achievements
Edit: Always do an encrypted iTunes and/or iCloud backup as well just as a fall back.
