Randomized trial examines movement behavior in adolescents, suggesting active mobility supports physical activity guidelines.

This research aims to explore the relationship between mobility and physical activity levels in early adolescence.
Developed an online survey to track physical activity levels over one week among 74 adolescents aged 12-14 years.
Collected data on travel patterns, destinations, and overall activity through a user-friendly questionnaire.
Analyzed 2,300 trip stages to assess the impact of active mobility on meeting physical activity guidelines.
Active mobility accounted for over a third of trips taken by participants.
Compliance with WHO physical activity recommendations increased from 3.9 to 4.6 days per week with active mobility included.
The study highlights the critical role of mobility in enhancing health and meeting recommended activity levels.
