Seasonal Influences on Active Transport

James Burton Kauffman

Active transport (AT, walking or biking) to, from, and on campus can help students be active and benefit their health. This study examined how AT varied based on the time during the semester and season. Students reported demographics, residence, distance from campus, and AT behaviors. In fall semester there was a significant decline in AT. By contrast, AT remained unchanged in spring semester. Findings indicate that season influences the college students’ AT behaviors.
