The main objectives of this study were: to compare the barriers to active commuting to and from school (ACS) between children and their parents separately for children and adolescents; and to analyze the association between ACS and the children's and parents' barriers. A total of 401 child-parent pairs, from Granada, Jaén, Toledo and Valencia, self-reported, separately, their mode of commuting to school and work, respectively, and the children's barriers to ACS. -tests and chi-square tests were used to analyze the differences by age for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Binary logistic regressions were performed to study the association between ACS barriers of children and parents and ACS. Both children and adolescents perceived higher physical and motivational barriers and social support barriers towards ACS than their parents (all < 0.05). Additionally, the parents perceived higher distance, traffic safety, convenience, built environment, crime-related safety and weather as barriers towards ACS, than their children (all < 0.05). Moreover, a higher perception of barriers was related to lower ACS. The results of our study showed the necessity of attenuating the perceptions of children and their parents in order to increase ACS. This is relevant to develop interventions in the specific contexts of each barrier and involving both populations.
分别比较儿童和其父母对上下学主动通勤（ACS）的障碍；并分析 ACS 与儿童和家长障碍之间的关联。共有 401 对来自格拉纳达、哈恩、托莱多和瓦伦西亚的儿童-家长对，分别自我报告了他们各自上下学和工作的交通方式，以及儿童 ACS 的障碍。 -检验和卡方检验分别用于分析连续和分类变量的年龄差异。二元逻辑回归用于研究儿童和家长的 ACS 障碍与 ACS 之间的关联。儿童和青少年感知到的 ACS 物理和动机障碍以及社会支持障碍比他们的父母更高（均<0.05）。此外，父母感知到的距离、交通安全、便利性、建筑环境、与犯罪相关的安全和天气等方面的障碍比他们的孩子更高（均<0.05）。此外，更高的障碍感知与 ACS 减少有关。本研究结果表明，有必要减轻儿童及其父母的认知，以增加 ACS。这对于在每个障碍的特定背景下制定干预措施并涉及两个群体具有重要意义。
