ABSTRACT

El objetivo del estudio fue describir el tipo de desplazamiento utilizado por los adolescentes de Huesca para ir y volver del centro educativo, así como analizar su asociación con el género y el curso académico. Participaron 1.709 adolescentes (Medad=14.20; DT=1.56; 51.7% chicas) de 1º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) a 1º de Bachillerato. Los estudiantes cumplimentaron un cuestionario sobre el modo habitual de desplazamiento en la ida y vuelta al instituto. Los resultados señalaron que un 76.4% de los adolescentes se desplazaba activamente (i.e., andando o en bicicleta) tanto en la ida como en la vuelta. De los adolescentes que se desplazaban activamente, un 78.5% en la ida y un 81.7% en la vuelta lo hacía caminando. En relación con el género, se encontró una asociación positiva entre ir andando al centro educativo y ser chica, así como entre ir en bicicleta y ser chico. En relación con el curso académico, desplazarse andando al centro educativo se asoció positivamente con 4º de ESO y negativamente con 1º de Bachillerato. Asimismo, desplazarse en bicicleta se asoció positivamente con 1º de Bachillerato y negativamente con 3º de ESO. Aunque la mayoría de los adolescentes se desplaza activamente al instituto, parece necesario promover programas escolares que incentiven el desplazamiento activo de los jóvenes dada las características favorables de movilidad de la ciudad de Huesca. De igual modo, parece necesaria la promoción de la bicicleta como modo de desplazamiento al instituto, especialmente en las chicas y en los estudiantes de ESO


The aim of this study was to describe the usual mode of commuting to and from school in adolescents of Huesca and its association with gender and academic year. A total of 1,709 adolescents (Mage=14.20; DT=1.56; 51.7% girls) from 1st-year of middle school [Spanish acronym, ESO] to 1st-year high school) participated in this study. A questionnaire of the usual mode of commuting to and from school was self-reported by students. Results showed that 76.4% of adolescents commuted actively (i.e., walking or cycling) to and from school. Of the adolescents who commute actively to and from school, 78.5% to school and 81.7% from school walked. Regarding gender, a positive association was found between walking to and from school and being a girl, as well as between cycling and being a boy. Regarding the grade level, walking to and from school was positively associated with adolescents in 4th of middle school and negatively with 1st-year high school. On the other hand, travelling by bicycle both routes was positively associated with 1st-year of high school and negatively with 3rd year of middle school. Although the majority of adolescents from Huesca commuted actively to and from school, it seems that active school transport interventions are necessary, given the favorable characteristics of the city of Huesca. Similarly, it seems necessary to promote cycling as a means of transport to and from school, especially among girls and secondary education students
