To investigate the effect of a school-based intervention called Travelling Green (TG) on children's walking to and from school and total daily physical activity.A quasi-experiment with 166 Scottish children (8-9 years) was conducted in 2009. One group (n=79) received TG and another group (n=87) acted as a comparison. The intervention lasted 6 weeks and

Active Commuting: Prevalence, Barriers, and Associated Variables
Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2011Background:Research has demonstrated that adolescents who actively commute have higher levels of physical activity (PA), which have declined precipitously over the past 30 years. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of active commuting to school; and to identify barriers associated with active commuting.Methods:A cross-sectional ...

Active commuting is beneficial for health
BMJ, 2017Background/objectives To maintain and optimise the quality of care provided by health professionals in rheumatology (HPRs), adequate educational offerings are needed. This task force (TF) aimed to develop evidence-based recommendations for the generic core competences of HPRs, with specific reference to nurses, physical therapists (PTs) and ...

Associations Between Active Commuting to School and Objectively Measured Physical Activity
Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2013Background:To provide more accurate assessment of commuting behavior and potential health effect, it is important to have accurate methods. Therefore, the current study aimed to a) compare questionnaire reported mode of commuting with objectively measured data from accelerometer and cycle computer, b) compare moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA ...

The Exercising Commuter: Is Commuting a Healthy Way to Be Active?
Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports, 2012After summarizing knowledge gaps through 2008, research on exercise commuting is reviewed for 2008–2011. Evidence-based reports on physical activity needs have emerged from many consensus panels. There seems potential to meet aerobic requirements by cycling to work. Rapid walking may also be effective in older adults.

Background In Germany and other industrial countries, many children are not physically active enough and suffer increasingly from secondary diseases caused by a lack of activity. Active commuting to school is a relevant domain of physical activity and presents an important starting point for interventions to promote physical activity in primary school ...
