International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity 2011 8 88 http www.ijbnpa.Org content 8 1 88 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BEHAVIORAL NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY RESEARCH Open Access Criterion distances and environmental correlates of active commuting to school in children Sara D Haese1 Femke De Meester1 Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij1 Benedicte Deforche1 2 and Greet Cardon1 Abstract Background Active commuting to school can contribute to daily physical activity levels in children. Insight into the determinants of active commuting is needed to promote such behavior in children living within a feasible commuting distance from school. This study determined feasible distances for walking and cycling to school criterion distances in 11- to 12-year-old Belgian children. For children living within these criterion distances from school the correlation between parental perceptions of the environment the number of motorized vehicles per family and the commuting mode active passive to school was investigated. Methods Parents n 696 were contacted through 44 randomly selected classes of the final year sixth grade in elementary schools in East- and West-Flanders. Parental environmental perceptions were obtained using the parent version of Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale for Youth NEWS-Y . Information about active commuting to school was obtained using a self-reported questionnaire for parents. Distances from the children s home to school were objectively measured with Routenet online route planner. Criterion distances were set at the distance in which at least 85 of the active commuters lived. After the determination of these criterion distances multilevel analyses were conducted to determine correlates of active commuting to school within these distances. Results Almost sixty percent 59.3 of the total sample commuted actively to school. Criterion distances were set at 1.5 kilometers for walking and 3.0 kilometers for cycling. In the range of
