Active commuting (AC) has been proposed as a great opportunity to increase physical activity level (PA) in children and adolescents. The aim of the present study is to determine the associations between AC (walk and cycle commuting) and non-AC (motor vehicle commuting) with PA levels, and with AC and sedentarism in Spanish children and adolescents. A representative Spanish sample of 424 children and adolescents (38% females) was involved in the ANIBES (Anthropometry, Dietary Intake and Lifestyle in Spain) Study in 2013. Data on the levels of AC, non-AC, PA, and sedentarism were obtained using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for adolescents. Stepwise backward univariate generalized linear and linear regression models were performed. In girls, walking was associated with playground PA, moderate PA, and moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) (β 0.007, < 0.05; both β 0.007, < 0.01), respectively. In boys, walking was associated with all PA levels ( < 0.05); while cycling was related to moderate PA and MVPA (both β 0.007, < 0.05). A negative significant association was observed between AC and time spent studying without Internet use in boys (β -0.184, < 0.05). Commuting by walking contributes to increased daily PA in both sexes, whereas cycling was only related to moderate PA and MVPA in boys. Sedentary behaviors are not related to AC, but studying without Internet use was negatively associated with AC in boys.
积极通勤（AC）被认为是增加儿童和青少年身体活动水平（PA）的绝佳机会。本研究旨在确定 AC（步行和骑车通勤）和非 AC（机动车通勤）与 PA 水平以及与西班牙儿童和青少年 AC 和久坐行为的关联。在 2013 年的 ANIBES（西班牙人体测量学、饮食摄入和生活方式）研究中，涉及了一个具有代表性的西班牙儿童和青少年样本（424 名，女性占 38%）。使用青少年国际体力活动问卷获得了关于 AC、非 AC、PA 和久坐行为的数据。采用逐步后退单变量广义线性和线性回归模型进行分析。在女孩中，步行与游乐场 PA、中度 PA 和中度到剧烈 PA（MVPA）相关（β 0.007， < 0.05；均为β 0.007， < 0.01）。在男孩中，步行与所有 PA 水平相关（ < 0.05）；而骑车与中度 PA 和 MVPA 相关（均为β 0.007， < 0.05）。在男孩中，还观察到 AC 与无互联网学习时间之间存在负显著关联（β -0.184， < 0.05）。步行通勤有助于增加两性的日常 PA，而骑车仅与男孩的中度 PA 和 MVPA 相关。久坐行为与 AC 无关，但男孩的无互联网学习时间与 AC 呈负相关。
