目的：有人建议，通过积极地通勤上学，可以从身体活动中获得健康益处。考虑到主动通勤可以通过政策进行修改，并且对高中生主动通勤的研究有限，这是一个值得进一步研究的领域。本研究的目的是探讨高中生样本中积极通勤的人口、行为、社会/心理和环境之间的关系。方法：来自 76 所安大略省高中（9-12 年级）的学生（N = 21,345）在 2005-2006 年间完成了学校健康行动、规划和评估系统体育活动模块。对积极通勤（每日或混合模式）的人口统计（性别、年级、体重指数）、行为（吸烟状况、体力活动、久坐时间）、社会/心理（感知运动能力、体重状况、家长鼓励）和环境（学校位置、类型、天气）预测因素进行了评估。结果：只有 42.5% 的高中生表示积极通勤上学。如果学生是女孩、12 年级、每天吸烟、体力活动程度较低或就读于农村学校，则学生主动通勤上学的可能性较小。结论：主动通勤上学的模式受到多种因素的影响，其中一些因素可以通过干预来改变。这对于未来旨在通过使用积极的交通方式上学来增强青少年健康和身体活动的学校规划具有重要意义。 （D 2008 年青少年医学协会。保留所有权利。
Purpose: It has been suggested that health benefits from physical activity may be accrued through active commuting to school. Considering that active commuting is modifiable via policy and that there is limited research examining active commuting among high school students, this is a domain that warrants further investigation. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships between demographic, behavioral, social/psychological, and environmental correlates of active commuting to school among a sample of high school students.Methods: Students (N = 21,345) from 76 Ontario high schools (grades 9-12) completed the School Health Action, Planning and Evaluation System Physical Activity Module between 2005-2006. Demographic (gender, grade, body mass index), behavioral (smoking status, physical activity, sedentary time), social/psychological (perceived athletic ability, weight status, parental encouragement), and environmental (school location, type, weather) predictors of active commuting (daily or mixed mode) were assessed.Results: Only 42.5% of high school students reported actively commuting to school. Students were less likely to actively commute to school if they were girls, in grade 12, smoked daily, were low-moderate in physical activity, or attended a rural school.Conclusions: Patterns of active commuting to school are influenced by multiple factors, some of which are modifiable through intervention. This has important implications for future school-based programming designed to enhance health and physical activity of adolescents through using active modes of transportation to school.
