Zusammenfassung
The purpose of the present study was to compare the objectively-measured physical activity levels during the active commuting to school in schoolchildren according to their weight status. 216 adolescents (108 males and 108 females; 144 nonoverweight and 65 overweight/obese), of 13-16 years old participated in the present study. Physical activity was assessed by a GT3X+ accelerometer that schoolchildren carried during a week. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test showed that schoolchildren with overweight/obesity had daily habits of physical activity (light, moderate, vigorous, moderatevigorous, light-vigorous, vertical axis, vector magnitude and steps) statistically greater than their classmates without overweight (p < 0.05). Additionally, in schoolchildren with overweight/obesity the commuting to school had a higher statistically significantly contribution in the magnitude vector to the physical activity of the day than in classmates without overweight (p < 0.05). Adolescents with overweight/obesity have higher levels of physical activity during the commuting to school
