背景：步行或骑自行车上学的积极通勤被广泛推广，以增加儿童的身体活动。然而，有很少的数据来描述的影响，旅行模式，特别是骑自行车，可能对活动levels.Results：共332名儿童（平均年龄9.7岁，标准差[SD]=0.4年）完成了所有的测量。步行上学的儿童比开车上学的儿童更活跃（每分钟加速度计计数[cpm]：667.7，SD=233.7 vs 557.3，SD=191.4; p=0.01）。那些骑自行车上学的人记录的加速度计计数高于开车的人，但差异并不显著。步行或骑自行车上学的男孩比开车上学的男孩更活跃（步行：732.2 cpm，SD = 253.1 vs 592.8 cpm，SD = 193.9; p = 0.007;周期：712.6 cpm，SD = 249.1 vs 592.8 cpm，SD = 193.9; p = 0.013）。在女孩，步行，但不骑自行车上学与较高的日常体力活动水平（606.3 cpm，SD = 197.7，与523.4 cpm，SD = 185.0 cpm; p = 0.05）。总体积的体力活动和每小时的体力活动模式进行了估计和儿童组比较的方式上学。数据收集的一部分，欧洲青年心脏Study.Conclusions：在小学学龄儿童，步行上学与较高水平的整体身体活动相比，那些谁乘坐机动交通工具上学。骑自行车仅在男孩中与更高的整体身体活动相关。
Background: Active commuting to school by walking or bicycle is widely promoted to increase children's physical activity. However, there is little data to describe the impact that travel mode, and in particular cycling, may have on activity levels.Results: A total of 332 children (average age 9.7 years, standard deviation [SD]=0.4 years) completed all measurements. Children who walked to school were significantly more physically active than those who traveled by car (accelerometer counts per minute [cpm]: 667.7, SD=233.7 vs 557.3, SD=191.4; p=0.01). Those who cycled to school recorded higher accelerometer counts than those who traveled by car, but differences were not significant. Boys who walked or cycled to school were significantly more physically active than those traveling by car (walk: 732.2 cpm, SD = 253.1 vs 592.8 cpm, SD = 193.9; p = 0.007; cycle: 712.6 cpm, SD = 249.1 vs 592.8 cpm, SD = 193.9; p = 0.013). In girls, walking but not cycling to school was significantly associated with higher daily physical activity levels (606.3 cpm, SD = 197.7, vs 523.4 cpm, SD = 185.0 cpm; p = 0.05).Methods: Primary school children wore an accelerometer recording minute-by-minute physical activity, and completed questions describing travel habits. Total volume of physical activity and hourly physical activity patterns were estimated and groups of children compared by mode of travel to school. Data were collected as part of the European Youth Heart Study.Conclusions: In primary school-aged children, walking to school is associated with higher levels of overall physical activity compared with those who travel to school by motorized transport. Cycling is associated with higher overall physical activity only in boys.
