Tourist’s mobilities: Walking, cycling, driving and waiting

A Note on Walking Versus Waiting

To what extent is a traveller (called Justin, say) better off to wait for a bus rather than just start walking—particularly when the bus headway is of a similar order of magnitude to the walking time and Justin does not know the precise arrival time of the bus? The recent analysis by Chen et al [1] goes some way toward answering this question; however, there are additional valuable insights tha...

Shared muscle synergies in human walking and cycling.

The motor system may rely on a modular organization (muscle synergies activated in time) to execute different tasks. We investigated the common control features of walking and cycling in healthy humans from the perspective of muscle synergies. Three hypotheses were tested: 1) muscle synergies extracted from walking trials are similar to those extracted during cycling; 2) muscle synergies extrac...

Behavior Change Techniques Used to Promote Walking and Cycling

OBJECTIVE Evidence on the effectiveness of walking and cycling interventions is mixed. This may be partly attributable to differences in intervention content, such as the cognitive and behavioral techniques (BCTs) used. Adopting a taxonomy of BCTs, this systematic review addressed two questions: (a) What are the behavior change techniques used in walking and cycling interventions targeted at ad...
