patrones de actividad física en niños de Huesca}",

note = "Background: Physical inactivity and obesity represent a
greater health problem, which get worse when children and
youth do not reach the daily recommended levels of physical
activity. Active transport seems to be a moment which can
help solve this problem. Methods: Data of 45 children from
the city of Huesca were analyzed. The participants
completed a questionnaire where questions about
sociodemographic data, physical activity behaviors and mode
of transport to school were asked. Furthermore,
accelerometers were used in order to measure physical
activity for 7 days. Results: The time spent on active
transport can involve up to half of daily recommended
physical activity. Moreover, mode of transport and distance
to school seem significantly influence levels of physical
activity when children have to commute to and from school.
Conclusions: Active transport, which should be promoted,
contributes to physical activity daily recommendations.",
