      ab: Objectives: To document physical ac­tivity patterns and perceptions about ac­tive transport to school. Methods: Chil­dren's activity was measured. Children and parents were surveyed about active transport to school. Results: Children were most active after (465 ± 20 cpm) and least active before (379 ± 18 cpm) and during school (351 ± 13 cpm). Weight was not related to activity. Boys were more confident than girls, whereas parents felt more confident than children did about active transport. Conclusions: Ac­tive transport programs will likely have a greater impact on before-school activity than after school. Perceptions concern­ing active transport should be assessed, and parent/child discrepancies rectified prior to program implementation.
