XXXX 's Out-of-School Independently Mobile Trips, Active Travel, and Physical Activity: A Cross-Sectional Examination from the Kids in the City Study.

@entity1 @entity3457
BACKGROUND: The study aim was to determine the association between @entity1 's objectively assessed moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and @entity3457 ( @entity3457 ) and independently mobile trips (IM) during out-of-school hours. METHODS: @entity1 aged 9 to 13 years (n = 254) were recruited from 9 schools in Auckland, New Zealand between 2011 and 2012. @entity1 completed travel diaries and wore accelerometers for 7 days. Parents provided demographic information. Geographic information systems-derived distance to school was calculated. Accelerometer data were extracted for out of school hours only. Percentage of time spent in MVPA (%MVPA), @entity3457 , and IM were calculated. Generalized estimating equations were used to determine the relationship between daily %MVPA and @entity3457 and between daily %MVPA and IM, accounting for age, sex, ethnicity, distance to school, day of the week, and numeric day of data collection. RESULTS: A significant positive relationship was observed between %MVPA and both @entity3457 and IM. For every unit increase in the daily percentage of trips made that were @entity3457 or IM, we found an average increase of 1.28% (95% CI 0.87%, 1.70%) and 1.15% (95% CI 0.71%, 1.59%) time in MVPA, respectively. CONCLUSION: @entity1 's @entity3457 and IM are associated with increased MVPA during out-of-school hours.
