Descriptive data on active transportation in children focuses on the trip to school and has relied on subjective reports. The purpose of this study was to use objective measures to describe total active transportation and active transportation to common destinations within children.
This was a descriptive study of 388 children aged 10-13 years from Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Participants wore a Garmin GPS watch during waking hours for seven days. Personal Activity Measurement Location System software used the GPS data to identify trips, time spent in each trip and the trip modality (walking, bicycle or vehicle). Google Maps software was used to identify trip destinations.
A total of 8875 trips were identified. Most (69%) trips were made by vehicle; 25% were made by walking and 6% by bicycle. Mean time spent in active transportation was 10.3 min/day (95% CI: 7.4, 14.5). Time spent in active transportation was higher for boys (12.1 min/day [95% CI: 8.8, 17.0) than for girls (8.5 min/day [95% CI: 6.1, 12.0]) and increased from 7.7 min/day (95% CI: 5.5, 11.1) at age 10 to 14.3 min/day (95% CI: 10.3, 19.9) at age 13. Time spent in active transportation was lower in the winter by comparison to the other seasons. The four most common active transportation destinations were the participant's home, school, other people's homes, and parks or greenspace with 69%, 39%, 37% and 32% of participants walking or bicycling to these destinations at least once over the 7-day measurement period.
Over 65% of trips made and time spent travelling occurred in a vehicle. When active transportation was used, the most common destinations were home, school, other people's homes, and parks.
针对儿童积极出行的描述性数据主要集中在上学行程上，且依赖于主观报告。本研究旨在使用客观测量方法描述儿童的整体积极出行情况以及前往常见目的地的积极出行情况。
这是一项针对加拿大安大略省金斯顿 388 名 10-13 岁儿童的描述性研究。参与者在清醒期间的七天内佩戴佳明 GPS 手表。个人活动测量定位系统软件使用 GPS 数据识别行程、每次行程花费的时间以及行程模式（步行、自行车或车辆）。谷歌地图软件用于识别行程目的地。
共确定了 8875 次行程。大多数行程（69%）是乘坐车辆完成的；25%是步行，6%是骑自行车。积极出行的平均时间为 10.3 分钟/天（95%置信区间：7.4，14.5）。男孩（12.1 分钟/天 [95%置信区间：8.8，17.0]）的积极出行时间高于女孩（8.5 分钟/天 [95%置信区间：6.1，12.0]），且随着年龄从 10 岁增长至 13 岁，出行时间从 7.7 分钟/天（95%置信区间：5.5，11.1）增长至 14.3 分钟/天（95%置信区间：10.3，19.9）。与其他季节相比，冬季的积极出行时间较低。四个最常见的积极出行目的地是参与者的家、学校、他人的家以及公园或绿地，在 7 天的测量期间，至少有 69%、39%、37%和 32%的参与者步行或骑自行车去过这些目的地。
超过 65%的行程和出行时间都是乘坐车辆完成的。当使用积极出行方式时，最常见的目的地是家、学校、他人的家以及公园。
