To evaluate the association between cycling to/from school and body composition, physical fitness, and metabolic syndrome among a sample of Colombian children and adolescents.
During the 2014-2015 school year, we examined a cross-sectional component of the Association for muscular strength with early manifestation of cardiovascular disease risk factors among Colombian children and adolescents (FUPRECOL) study. Participants included 2877 youths (54.5% girls) from Bogota, Colombia. A self-reported questionnaire was used to measure the frequency and mode of commuting to school. Four components of physical fitness were measured: (1) anthropometric (height, weight, body mass index, and waist circumference); (2) musculoskeletal (handgrip and standing long jump test); (3) motor (speed-agility test; 4 × 10-meter shuttle run); and (4) cardiorespiratory (20-m shuttle run test [20mSRT]). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was determined by the definitions provided by the International Diabetes Federation.
Twenty-three percent of the sample reported commuting by cycle. Active commuting boys had a likelihood of having an unhealthy 4 × 10 m value (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.53-0.98; P = .038) compared with the reference group (passive commuters). Active commuting girls showed a lower likelihood of having unhealthy a 20mSRT value (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.56-0.99; P = .047) and metabolic syndrome (OR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.35-0.99; P = .048) compared with passive commuters.
Regular cycling to school may to be associated with better physical fitness and a lower incidence of metabolic syndrome than passive transport, especially in girls.
评估哥伦比亚儿童和青少年样本中往返学校骑自行车与身体成分、体能及代谢综合征之间的关联。
在2014 - 2015学年，我们检查了哥伦比亚儿童和青少年肌肉力量与心血管疾病危险因素早期表现关联研究（FUPRECOL）的一个横断面部分。参与者包括来自哥伦比亚波哥大的2877名青少年（54.5%为女孩）。使用一份自我报告问卷来测量上学通勤的频率和方式。测量了体能的四个组成部分：（1）人体测量学指标（身高、体重、体重指数和腰围）；（2）肌肉骨骼指标（握力和立定跳远测试）；（3）运动能力指标（速度敏捷性测试；4×10米往返跑）；以及（4）心肺功能指标（20米往返跑测试[20mSRT]）。代谢综合征的患病率根据国际糖尿病联盟提供的定义来确定。
23%的样本报告骑自行车上学通勤。与参照组（被动通勤者）相比，积极通勤的男孩出现不健康的4×10米往返跑测试结果的可能性更低（比值比[OR]为0.72；95%置信区间[CI]为0.53 - 0.98；P = 0.038）。与被动通勤者相比，积极通勤的女孩出现不健康的20米往返跑测试结果的可能性更低（OR为0.81；95% CI为0.56 - 0.99；P = 0.047），患代谢综合征的可能性也更低（OR为0.61；95% CI为0.35 - 0.99；P = 0.048）。
与被动交通方式相比，经常骑自行车上学可能与更好的体能以及更低的代谢综合征发病率相关，尤其是在女孩中。
