The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship between distance to school and levels of physical activity and sedentary behavior in UK adolescents. Participants were 1385 adolescents (boys n = 531; mean age 14.7 years). Boys living within two miles of school and girls living within 5 miles of school were more likely to report high levels (> or = 60 min per day) of weekday leisure time physical activity. Differences in weekday leisure time physical activity were accounted for by active travel time. There were no differences in sedentary behavior time by distance to school. Journeys, whether active or motorized, most often took place with friends. Further research should investigate wider physical and social environmental influences on active travel.
本研究的目的是调查英国青少年住所与学校的距离与身体活动水平及久坐行为之间的关系。研究参与者为1385名青少年（男孩531名；平均年龄14.7岁）。住在距离学校两英里以内的男孩和住在距离学校五英里以内的女孩更有可能报告工作日休闲时间的身体活动水平较高（≥每天60分钟）。工作日休闲时间身体活动的差异可由主动出行时间来解释。按与学校的距离划分，久坐行为时间没有差异。出行，无论是主动出行还是乘坐机动车出行，大多是与朋友一起。未来的研究应调查更广泛的物理和社会环境对主动出行的影响。
