目的:走路或騎車上學普遍被用來作為提升青少年身體活動的策略,但是鮮少有研究針對這項政策與行為進行評估。方法:以問卷調查方式,蒐集220位嘉義縣民雄及大林地區的國中學生填寫之通勤行為調查表、身體意象問卷及知覺體適能問卷。結果:參與者動態的上學行為比例(走路及騎車上學)要比全國性的調查結果來得高,且大部分都是學生自己決定通勤方式,對於由家長決定要搭車上學的學生,有一半以上願意騎車或走路上學。但是動態上學方式對參與者自己的身體意象及知覺體適能並沒有影響。結論與建議:對搭車上學的學生來說,說服家長心中的疑慮和阻礙,如安全問題等,或許就能滿足搭車上學學生想要的動態通勤的方式。動態的通勤方式在國中學生每天的身體活動來說,可能僅占其一小部分,在身心健康的功效上並看不到其直接的效果,但是就提升身體活動的角度來看,任何機會都不應該忽視,即使它們不是的主要的貢獻者。
Purpose: Walking and biking to school had become one of the most popular strategies to promotion physical activity (PA) level in youth. However, few studies had evaluated the efficiency of the policy and behaviors. This study aimed to survey students commute behaviors and to see if active commute students had benefited to their physical and mental effects by walking and cycling to school. Method: 220 junior high school students in Darlin and Ming-Hsiung area of Chia-Yi County had completed questionnaires including transportation behavior survey, Self body- image Scale and Perceived Physical Fitness Scale. Results: Participates generally had more active commute behavior compared to the national survey. Most of the students could decide how to commute to school. More than half of students who commuted by car prefer biking or walking to school if they can make decision by themselves. There were no effect of active commute behavior on their body image and perceived physical fitness. Conclusion: For those students who took car to school are potential target to increase their physical activity level if parents are convinced by eliminating their concerns and barriers such as safety. Active commute might not play the main contributor of students' daily PA to reach recommendation level. However, any opportunity is still encouraging to increase total PA for students.
