Description
| - BACKGROUND: Active transport (AT) is a very important factor for increasing the level of physical activity in children, which is significant for both their health and positive physical behaviour in adult age. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to establish the proportion of Czech children aged 11 to 15 who select AT to and from school and describe socio-economic and socio-demographic factors influencing AT to and from school. METHODS: To establish the socio-demographic factors affecting AT, data of a national representative sample of 11 to 15 year-old elementary school children in the Czech Republic (n=4,425). Research data collection was performed within an international research study called Health Behaviour in School Aged Children in June 2010. Statistical processing of the results was made using a logistic regression analysis in the statistical programme IBM SPSS v 20. RESULTS: AT to and from school is opted for in the Czech Republic by approximately 2/3 of children aged 11 to 15. Differences between genders are not statistically significant; most children opting for AT are aged 11 (69%). An important factor increasing the probability of AT as much as 16 times is whether a child's place of residence is in the same municipality as the school. Other factors influencing this choice include BMI, time spent using a computer or an own room in a family. A significant factor determining AT by children is safety; safe road crossing, opportunity to leave a bicycle safely at school, no fear of being assaulted on the way or provision of school lockers where children can leave their items. CONCLUSIONS: AT plays an important role in increasing the overall level of physical activity in children. Promotion of AT should focus on children who spend more time using a computer, attention should also be drawn to safety associated with AT to and from school.
