目的：目的是描述年轻人通勤上学的模式，并检查其与身体活动（PA）和心肺健康的关系。方法：样本包括2271名9-10岁和15-16岁的爱沙尼亚和瑞典儿童和青少年（1218名女性）。数据于1998/99年收集。采用问卷调查的方式评估学生的上下班方式。用加速度计测定PA的时间（分钟/天）和平均PA（计数/分钟）。通过最大循环测力仪测试评估心肺功能。结果：61%的参与者报告了主动通勤上学（ACS）。爱沙尼亚青年ACS水平低于瑞典（优势比，0.64；95%可信区间，0.53-0.76），女孩低于男孩（0.74;0.62-0.88）。在中度、剧烈、MVPA和平均PA水平上，ACS男孩的PA水平高于非ACS男孩
Aims: The purpose was to describe the patterns of commuting to school in young people and to examine its associations with physical activity (PA) and cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: The sample comprised 2271 Estonian and Swedish children and adolescents (1218 females) aged 9-10 years and 15-16 years. Data were collected in 1998/99. Mode of commuting to and from school was assessed by questionnaire. Time spent (min/day) in PA and average PA (counts/min) was measured by accelerometry. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by means of a maximal cycle ergometer test. Results: Sixty-one percent of the participants reported active commuting to school (ACS). Estonian youth showed lower levels of ACS than Swedish (odds ratio, 0.64; 95% confidence interval, 0.53-0.76) and girls reported lower levels than boys (0.74; 0.62-0.88). ACS boys showed higher PA levels than non-ACS boys for moderate, vigorous, MVPA, and average PA levels (all p
