“…The received results show significance of formation of positive motivation and interest for physical culture practicing and provisioning of systemic and gradual obstacles' intensification in learning process that is also proved by other researchers [4,6,8,9,14,15,18,19,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. It has been proved that will training is successful if it is in natural coincidence with formation of positive motivation and improvement of motor fitness.…”

Abstract. Purpose: to theoretically substantiate and test experimentally pedagogic conditions of positive motivation's formation as the basis for students will and physical qualities' perfection in physical culture practicing. Material: 244 first year students participated in experiment. At the beginning and at the end of experiment levels of manifestation of students' will and physical qualities were assessed. Results: we have proved successfulness of will training if this process is naturally coincides with formation of positive motivation and perfection of motor fitness. It was found that motivation for physical culture practicing result from different demands: demand in motion, demand in fulfillment of student's duties and demand in competition functioning. Conclusions: we have offered the following pedagogic conditions: application of game and competition methods: setting of appropriate for students tasks of training; usage of sufficient sport equipment and apparatuses; forcing of students for independent physical culture practicing through system of encouragement.

“…Further investigations may address the possibility of maximizing girls' PA levels at the transport domain. Some studies show that older adolescents (both boys and girls) often use passive transport modes, such as car and motorcycle, even to nearby destinations 1,20 . These results suggest a need for greater efforts to understand factors that may influence the use of ATS among older adolescents, aiming to increase the use of this mode of commuting to school and other destinations 1,20 .…”

OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence and factors associated with active transportation to school (ATS) among Brazilian adolescents attending public schools. METHODS: Crossectional study with a representative sample of 1,984 adolescents (55.9% girls). Sociodemographic variables included were: gender, age, parental schooling, and socioeconomic status. Psychosocial factors included were: social support from parents and friends for physical activity. Walking, cycling, or skateboarding to school were considered models of active transportation. Binary logistic regression models verified sociodemographic and psychosocial factors association with ATS, adopting p < 0.05. RESULTS: The prevalence of active transportation to school was 37.7% (16.2% boys and 21.5% girls). For boys, ATS was associated with: social support from parents in practicing physical activity together as a family (OR = 1.57; 95%CI 1.09–2.25), giving them rides (OR = 1.56; 95%CI 1.04–2.32), and remarking their good performance on it (OR = 1.73; CI95 1.08–2.76); as well as the social support from friends in practicing physical activity together (OR = 2.23; 95%CI 1.35–3.69). For girls, the likelihood of using ATS increased with age (OR = 1.43; 95%CI 1.06–1.92) and having friends who practice physical activity together with them (OR = 1.48, 95%CI 1.04–2.10). CONCLUSION: Age and social support for physical activity were associated with ATS. Parents who practice together, give rides, and remark on physical activities increase the likelihood of adolescent boys using ATS. Social support from friends to physical activity increased the likelihood of both genders using ATS.

“…For analysis purpose, the variable “active commuting to school” was operationalized by weekly frequency, in “zero time/week” versus “≥ 1 times/week”, independent from time spent in commute. This measure and its operationalization have been used in similar studies 4 , 7 .…”

“…In fact, a positive association between active commuting and health indicators, such as body composition and cardiovascular fitness in children and adolescents, has been reported in the literature 3 . However, the percentage of active commuting to school in adolescents varies from 35% to 70% 4 – 7 in high income countries and between 12% and 70% 8 , 9 in Brazil. This indicates a high individual and regional variability, such as cities' built environments, policies and social characteristics.…”

“…Individual (gender, income) 5 , 6 , psychosocial (social support) 7 , 10 , perceived (aesthetics) 5 , 6 , 11 , and built environment variables (distance to school, number of crossings and residential density) 4 , 12 are associated to adolescents' active commuting to school. Moreover, evidence suggests that the way parents perceive the environment may also affect the choice of their children's mode of commuting 4 , 12 – 16 .…”

OBJECTIVETo analyze the moderator effect of socioeconomic status in the association between the perceived environment and active commuting to school.METHODSA total of 495 adolescents and their parents were interviewed. Perceived environment was operationalized in traffic and crime safety and assessed with the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale. Active commuting was self-reported by the adolescents, categorized in walking, bicycling or skating at least one time/week. Socioeconomic status was used as moderator effect, reported from adolescents' parents or guardians using Brazilian standardized socioeconomic status classification. Analyses were performed with Poisson regression on Stata 12.0.RESULTSPrevalence of active commuting was 63%. Adolescents with low socioeconomic status who reported “it is easy to observe pedestrians and cyclists” were more likely to actively commute to school (PR = 1.18, 95%CI 1.03–1.13). Adolescents with low socioeconomic status whose parents or legal guardians reported positively to “being safe crossing the streets” had increased probability of active commuting to school (PR = 1.10, 95%CI 1.01–1.20), as well as those with high socioeconomic status with “perception of crime” were positively associated to the outcome (PR = 1.33, 95%CI 1.03–1.72).CONCLUSIONSSocioeconomic status showed moderating effects in the association between the perceived environment and active commuting to school.
