Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
Walk to School and Physical Activity
The purpose of the proposed study is to determine the effect of walking to school for one week on total physical activity and patterns of physical activity in third, fourth and fifth grade students.
Increasing children’s physical activity has become an important public health concern.
Active transportation (walking and bicycling) is one aspect of children’s physical activity
that has received little attention but may provide a means of increasing children’s activity
levels. Traveling to school is a common activity for most children in the United States. Due
to this regularity, active transportation to school provides a possible way to incorporate
an increase in children’s moderate-to-vigorous physical activity into a routine activity.
Several “walk to school” programs have been implemented but it is not known if the physical
activity levels of children walking to school are greater than those that get chauffeured or
bused. Theoretically, moderate intensity activity should be greater in the walkers compared
to others. This difference should be in proportion to the duration of the walk to and from
school; determined by how far the child lives from the school. However, more activity in the
morning may have an impact on activity levels later in the day. Therefore, differences in
daily activity patterns in addition to total activity need to be considered.
Comparison(s): Following a baseline week, the physical activity of students randomized to a
Walk to School group will be compared to those randomized to a Control group, who will
continue to be driven to school.
