The findings of this research showed that being overweight is a concerning issue even in a small-sized and lightly populated city such as Bandar-Turkmen, Iran. Most students (90%) did not perform the required minimum daily activity when commuting to school. Further, overweight could be found even among those students who walked more than one hour to commute to school. The contribution of walking to school to the MVPA of overweight students was found to be low on school days and throughout the year. Counterintuitively, the situation is even worse for nonoverweight students.
The population of overweight students was more active compared to nonoverweight students in general, although they still suffered from excess weight since walking distances were short and not all days were school days. Thus, encouraging students to walk to school is necessary, while it is not sufficient alone as a single measure. Moreover, we recommend that all students should perform extra PA at home, school, or other places, on both school days and all other days of the year.
这项研究的结果表明，即使在像伊朗班达尔-土库曼这样面积小、人口少的城市，超重也是一个令人担忧的问题。大多数学生（90%）在上学通勤时没有进行所需的最低日常活动。此外，即使是那些步行上学超过一小时的学生中，也能发现超重现象。在上学日和全年，步行上学对超重学生的中高强度身体活动量的贡献较低。具有讽刺意味的是，对于非超重学生来说，情况甚至更糟。
总体而言，超重学生比非超重学生更活跃，尽管他们仍然超重，因为步行距离较短，而且并非所有日子都是上学日。因此，有必要鼓励学生步行上学，但这仅仅是一项措施，并不足以解决问题。此外，我们建议所有学生在上学日和全年的其他日子里，在家庭、学校或其他地方进行额外的体育活动。
