OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to examine the correlation between 1-legged bicycling and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) in subjects post-stroke. A further aim was to analyse the relationship between specific stroke impairment and walking endurance. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-four subjects (mean age 60 (standard deviation (SD) 4.1) years; mean time post-stroke 62 (SD 33) months) with strok...

Building cities more sustainably through transit-oriented development (TOD) has become a principal planning concept in recent decades. The node-place model serves as an important tool for determining the TOD typology, combining consideration of station with transport network which it is located. A number studies have proposed addition new indicators to original model. However, importance bicycl...

INTRODUCTION Cycling is a major activity for adolescents in Canada and potential differences exist in bicycling-related risk and experience of injury by population subgroup. The overall aim of this study was to inform health equity interventions by profiling stratified analytic methods and identifying potential inequities associated with bicycle-related injury and the use of bicycle helmets amo...

OBJECTIVES We examined the public health consequences of unsafe and inconvenient walking and bicycling conditions in American cities to suggest improvements based on successful policies in The Netherlands and Germany. METHODS Secondary data from national travel and crash surveys were used to compute fatality trends from 1975 to 2001 and fatality and injury rates for pedestrians and cyclists i...

With the worsening of urban traffic congestion and environmental pollution, cities around world have become conscious importance bicycle. The key to promoting transition from driving bicycling for short-distance travel is understand process effect latent variables. This paper divides into five stages according transtheoretical model behavior change analyzes staged in terms influences First, bas...

We seek to motivate drivers who regularly use webbased local and mapping services and have access to viable alternative transit methods — such as public transportation, carpooling, walking or bicycling — to use these alternatives instead of driving alone. altVerto works with users’ existing habits to intervene during trip planning, and then sustains long-term positive behavior through progress ...
