Walk or Bike to a Healthier Life: Commuting Behavior and Recreational Physical Activity

This study surveyed faculty and staff at universities in three cities: Youngstown (Ohio), Columbus (Ohio), and Washington, D.C.A total of 111 participants (50% women, 45% men, 5% no answer) completed an online survey, which asked about their habits concerning their work commute, physical activity related to their commute, and physical activity engaged in for recreation. The study revealed that a significant relationship exists between the mode(s) of transit used in commuting for work and the amount of time participants reported engaging in recreational physical activity outside of the commute. Commuters who had some physical activity in their commute spent more time engaging in additional physical activity for recreation and exercise and participated in a greater number of physical activities. The study findings suggested that some groups, such as health researchers, governmental entities, planners, and transportation analysts, might benefit from further studying this connection.
