Are Spanish adolescents who actively commute to and from school more active in other domains? A spatiotemporal investigation

We examined the association between mode of commuting to/from school (i.e., walking, multimodal, and motorized -vehicle) and movement behaviours in several space-time domains (i.e., total day, home, school, transport, and other locations). Walking to and/or from school was associated with higher MVP...

Descrição
Resumo:We examined the association between mode of commuting to/from school (i.e., walking, multimodal, and motorized -vehicle) and movement behaviours in several space-time domains (i.e., total day, home, school, transport, and other locations). Walking to and/or from school was associated with higher MVPA in all spacetime domains except home, where no associations were found. After subtracting commuting time to/from school from total day domain, the associations in favour of walking to/from school were maintained compared to those using other commuting modes, and in transport domain these associations dissipated. The study suggests the importance of promoting walking to/from school for increasing MVPA levels.
