The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the associations between active commuting behavior, levels of physical activity and distance to school in 9-10 year old children. Participants were children (n = 1824) who took part in the SPEEDY study (Sport, Physical activity and Eating behavior: Environmental Determinants in Young people). For both boys and girls, significant positive associations were observed between walking to school and physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity during weekday journey times (8-9 am and 3-4 pm), and the size of association also became stronger with increasing distance from school. Promotion of active commuting to school might be an important way to increase levels of physical activity in school children.
这项横断面研究的目的是调查9至10岁儿童的主动通勤行为、身体活动水平与学校距离之间的关联。参与者是参加SPEEDY研究（运动、身体活动与饮食行为：青少年的环境决定因素）的儿童（n = 1824）。对于男孩和女孩来说，在工作日上学途中（上午8点至9点和下午3点至4点），步行上学与身体活动以及中度至剧烈身体活动之间均观察到显著的正相关，并且随着与学校距离的增加，这种关联的程度也变得更强。推广主动通勤上学可能是增加在校儿童身体活动水平的重要途径。
