Commuting to University: Self-Reported and Device-Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour
Background: Active commuting could provide an opportunity to counteract unhealthy behaviours, such as insufficient levels of Physical Activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour, which are major health problems in the university population. The aims of this study were to describe and compare self-reported and device-measured in commuting behaviours, PA, and sedentary behaviour in both trips (to and from university) by mode of commuting per weekday, and to identify associations between self-reported and device-measured of commuting behaviours, PA, and sedentary behaviour. Methods: After inclusion criteria, a total of 63 students (65.1% women) from a public university in Cádiz, Spain, participated in this study. Self-reported and device-measured information was used. Results: Commuting time, distance, and speed were lower in active commuters than public and private commuters in both trips (to and from university) (all, p < 0.001). Commuting energy expenditure per min was higher in active commuters than public and private commuters (all, p < 0.001). Active commuters presented significant differences (p < 0.05) with public and private commuters in all PA levels and sedentary behaviour in both trips (to and from university). Conclusions: Active commuting involved the highest levels of energy expenditure per min and could contribute 44% of the weekly PA recommendation for health benefits in university students.
