Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of personal transport. Yet its net effects on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected activity data in seven European cities derived life cycle across modes purposes. Daily were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car contributing 70% 1%. Cyclists had 84% lower than non-cyclists. Life decreased by −14% additional trip −62% each avoided trip. An average person who...
Background: Sufficient sample size and minimal bias are core requirements for empirical data analyses. Combining opportunistic recruitment with a Web-based survey data-collection platform yields new benefits over traditional approaches. Objective: This paper aims to report the success of different methods obtain on participants' characteristics, participation behavior, rates, representativeness sample. Methods: A longitudinal, was implemented as part European PASTA (Physical Activity through...
Physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases, yet many are not sufficiently active. The Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) study aims to better understand active mobility (walking and cycling transport solely or in combination with public transport) as an innovative approach integrate physical activity into individuals' everyday lives. PASTA will collect data multiple cities a longitudinal cohort design correlates mobility, its...
While the annual number of trips average urban inhabitant has grown steadily in recent years, people are becoming less active while doing so. This lack physical activity causes major health problems for individuals and great economic costs society as a whole. Replacing short motorized by walking cycling been shown to increase everyday life. The PASTA "Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches" project collected data longitudinal web-based survey with cohort design study...
Purpose: There is a need for accurate, reliable, and feasible methods determining route distances in physically active transportation. The aim of this study, therefore, was to scrutinize if commuting routes drawn by commuters measured with digital curvimetric distance measurement device could serve such purpose. Methods: Participants were recruited when walking or bicycling the inner urban area Stockholm, Sweden. Questionnaires individually adjusted maps sent twice participants (n = 133)....
Active commuting between home and place of work or study is often cited as an interesting source physical activity in a public health perspective. However, knowledge about these behaviors meager. This was therefore studied adult active commuters (n = 1872) Greater Stockholm, Sweden, Nordic metropolitan setting. They received questionnaires individually adjusted maps to draw their normal route. Three different modality groups were identified men women: single-mode cyclists pedestrians (those...

Abstract Background Route environments can be a potentially important factor in influencing people's behaviours relation to active commuting. To better understand these possible relationships, assessments of route are needed. We therefore developed scale; the Active Commuting Environment Scale (ACRES), for assessment bicyclists' and pedestrians' perceptions their commuting environments. Here we will report on development results validity reliability thereof. Methods commuters (n = 54) were...
Abstract Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is considered the most sustainable form of getting from A to B. Yet net effects active on mobility-related CO2 emissions are complex and under-researched. Here we collected activity data in seven European cities derived lifecycle daily activity. Daily were 3.2 kgCO2 per person, with car contributing 70% 1%. Cyclists had 84% lower all than non-cyclists. Lifecycle decreased by -14% (95%CI -12% -16%) additional trip -62% -61% -63%) each...
Abstract Active travel (walking or cycling for transport) is generally good health, the environment and economy. Yet net effects of changes in active on mobility-related CO 2 emissions are complex under-researched. Here we collected longitudinal data daily behavior, mode choice, as well personal geospatial characteristics seven European cities derived lifecycle from activity over time space. Fixed- mixed-effects modelling panel (n=1849) was performed to assess associations between transport...
