Cycling and walking for transport
Background There is comprehensive evidence of the positive health effects of physical activity, and transport authorities can enable this by developing infrastructure for cycling and walking . In particular, cycling to work or to school can be a relatively high intensity activity that by itself might suffice for maximum health gain. In this paper, we present estimates of net health effects that ...

PDF Cycling and walking for transport
In the first cost-benefit analysis of a new cycling / walking track network taking into account the positive health effects of physical activity it was assumed that the share of new cyclists and pedestrians obtaining net health effects would be 50% [6]. Recent WHO-based guidance on cost-benefit analysis of health effects proposes the use of the all-cause relative mortality risk estimate of 0.72 ...
Measured intensity levels from physically active transport increased with separate cycling / walking facilities, and were higher for those with higher education and living in urban areas, while they ...
Cycling and walking for transport
By comparing between shares of individuals with medium or high intensity levels, within the segments of current cyclists/pedestrians and potential cyclists/pedestrians, we estimate the possible net health effects of potential new users of improved cycling / walking infrastructure.
Abstract Background There is comprehensive evidence of the positive health effects of physical activity, and transport authorities can enable this by developing infrastructure for cycling and walking . In particular, cycling to work or to school can be a relatively high intensity activity that by itself might suffice for maximum health gain.
Cycling and walking for transport
Since the share obtaining net health gains might have a huge impact on cost-benefit analysis of new or improved infrastructure for cyclists/pedestrians, it is of importance to estimate this share. A main limitation of our estimation is the cross-sectional design. There is a need for more case studies combining surveys and objective measurement of physical activity changes, preferably before ...

2012 Active travel, particularly walking and cycling , has been recommended because of the health benefits associated with increased physical activity. Use of public transport generally involves some walking to bus stops or train stations. This paper is a systematic review of how much time is spent in physical activity among adults using public transport . It also explores the potential effect ...
