Only one-third of the European population meets minimum recommended levels physical activity (PA). Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases. Walking and cycling transport (active mobility, AM) are well suited to provide regular PA. The research project Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) pursues following aims: (1) investigate correlates interrelations AM, PA, air pollution crash risk; (2) evaluate effectiveness selected interventions...

Exercise facilities may have the potential to promote physical activity among residents, and support an active lifestyle throughout year. We investigated association between objectively assessed availability of exercise outcomes, whether time year had a modifying effect on these associations. A total 2,037 adults (55% females) wore accelerometer for seven days. Time spent in moderate vigorous (minutes per day) meeting recommendations (yes/no) were used as outcome variables. Availability was...

Neighborhood walkability has been associated with physical activity in several studies. However, as environmental correlates of may be context specific, parameters need to investigated separately various countries and contexts. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which affects have less investigated. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that vehicle ownership is a potential mediator. We associations between activity, mediating moderating effects these large sample Swedish adults....

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...

The global pandemic of physical inactivity represents a considerable public health challenge. Active transportation (i.e., walking or cycling for transport) can contribute to greater total activity levels. Mobile phone-based programs promote behaviour change, but no study has evaluated whether such program active in adults. This protocol presents the design and methodology Smart City Phone Intervention (SCAMPI), randomised controlled trial via smartphone application (app) with aim increase...

Background Active transportation (AT; ie, walking and cycling as a mode for transportation) has been associated with decreased morbidity mortality; however, low-cost scalable intervention programs are lacking. Objective The goal of the research was to determine effectiveness 3-month behavior change program delivered via mobile phone app promote AT (TravelVu Plus) on time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Methods For this 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial, we...

Abstract Background Despite a strong social gradient in the prevalence of obesity, there is little scientific understanding obesity people settled deprived neighbourhoods. Few studies are actually based on objectively measured data using random sampling residents In addition, most use crude measure, body mass index, to estimate obesity. This concern because it may cause inaccurate estimations true and give wrong picture factors associated with The aim this study was of, analyse...

The importance of setting a policy focus on promoting cycling and walking as sustainable healthy modes transport is increasingly recognized. However, to date science-driven scoring system assess the environment for lacking. In this study, spreadsheet-based systems were developed, including six dimensions (cycling/walking culture, social acceptance, perception traffic safety, advocacy, politics urban planning). Feasibility was tested using qualitative data from pre-specified sections...
