积极通勤（非机动交通）上学可以成为儿童和青少年身体活动的重要来源。本研究调查了3，451名12-17岁的美国青少年中与往返学校的积极通勤相关的社会人口统计学、家庭和环境特征，这些青少年对2005年加州健康访谈调查做出了回应。Logistic回归结果表明，那些更有可能积极通勤的是男性，拉丁美洲人，来自低收入家庭，就读公立学校，居住在城市地区，住在学校附近。放学后没有成年人在场的青少年以及那些父母对他们放学后的去向知之甚少的青少年也更有可能积极通勤。父母步行的交通和邻里安全的看法与青少年积极通勤。重要的家庭和个人相关的青少年步行或骑自行车上学，即使调整到学校的距离和城市化。
Active commuting (non-motorized transport) to school can be an important source of physical activity for children and adolescents. This research examined sociodemographic, family, and environmental characteristics associated with active commuting to or from school among 3,451 US adolescents aged 12-17 years, who responded to the 2005 California Health Interview Survey. Logistic regression results indicated that those more likely to actively commute were males, Latinos, from lower-income families, attending public school, living in urban areas, and living closer to school. Adolescents without an adult present after school and those whose parents know little about their whereabouts after school were also more likely to actively commute. Parental walking for transportation and perceptions of neighborhood safety were not associated with adolescent active commuting. Important family and individual correlates of walking or biking to school among adolescents were identified, even after adjusting for distance to school and urbanicity.
