  1. 1. Assessment of active commuting behaviour : walking and bicycling in Greater Stockholm

    Författare :Erik Stigell; Peter Schantz; Andreas Nilsson; Maria Hagströmer; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; walking; cycling; commuting; validity; reproducibility; distance; duration; velocity; frequency; seasonality; Sports; Idrott; Samhällsvetenskap Humaniora; Social Sciences Humanities; Sports Science;

    Sammanfattning : Walking and bicycling to work, active commuting, can contribute to sustainable mobility and provide regular health-enhancing physical activity for individuals. Our knowledge of active commuting behaviours in general and in different mode and gender groups in particular is limited. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Few children and adolescents reach the recommended levels of daily physical activity. This trend is evident in the countries examined in this thesis: Sweden and Spain. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Impacts of Active Transport on Health : with a focus on physical activity, air pollution, and cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Wasif Raza; Johan Nilsson Sommar; Bertil Forsberg; Benno Krachler; Otto Hänninen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Health impact assessment; Air pollution; Active commuting; Exercise; Interaction. Cardiovascular diseases; Ischemic heart diseases; Stroke; Public health; folkhälsa; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: There are increasing number of health impact assessment studies investigating the health effects by transferring trips made by motorised transport to active commuting; however, air pollution exposure during active commuting and its impact on health has been less thoroughly assessed. It is furthermore uncertain whether there is any interaction effect between air pollution and physical activity for the risk of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on bikeability in a metropolitan area using the active commuting route environment scale (ACRES)

    Författare :Lina Wahlgren; Peter Schantz; Henrik Gustafsson; Pekka Oja; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active transport; bicycle commuting; bikeability; multiple linear regression analysis; perception; reliability; route environment; validity; Sports; Idrott; Sports Science; Idrottsvetenskap; Samhällsvetenskap Humaniora;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The Active Commuting Route Environment Scale (ACRES) was developed to study active commuters’ perceptions of their route environments. The overall aims were to assess the measuring properties of the ACRES and study active bicycle commuters’ perceptions of their commuting route environments. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Improved health economic assessments of sustainable transport solutions in urban environments

    Författare :Hedi Katre Kriit; Johan Nilsson Sommar; Joacim Rocklöv; Martin Andersson; Joel Schwartz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; active commuting; electric vehicles; air pollution; particle matter; physical activity; morbidity; mortality; health economic evaluation; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; Public health; folkhälsa; sustainable development; hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Part of the European Strategy to achieve climate neutrality in the transport sector is to increase the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) and active commuting. Health co-benefits from reduced air pollution and increased active commuting are assumed to follow; however, all dimensions of expected health effects are not quantified nor valued monetarily. LÄS MER
