Better Fitness Linked To Walking, Biking To Work...
Dear Reader,
If you live in the city and your job is close by, you may have considered
walking (or biking, jogging, in-line skating, even skateboarding) to
work.
According to the first large U.S. study of health and commuting, very
few of us actually do it - in fact just under 17% of working adults
surveyed walked or bicycled for any part of their commute.
Earlier research has found that countries with the highest levels
of walking or biking have lower obesity levels as well.
But research on how these activities might affect Americans has been
pretty scarce, until this cross-sectional study. This latest work appears
in the July 13, 2009 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Of the study participants, 192 (18%) of the men, 203 (16%) of the
women were considered active commuters. The average length of the physical
part of their daily commute for both the bikers and walkers was 5 miles.
Most of the subjects walked, rather than biked, to work.
The research found that active commuters did better on treadmill tests
of fitness, even when they accounted for any other physical activities
subjects did in their leisure time.
The findings here suggest that the activity of commuting to work can
have an impact on overall fitness.
The participants, more than 2,300
city-dwellers in their middle years were taking part in a federally
funded study known as Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults
(CARDIA).
For men, but not women, researchers found that the commuters who walked
or biked had better BMI numbers, blood pressure, insulin and triglycerides.
The researchers explain these by suggesting that the women in the
study walked or biked shorter distances to the office, or were less
vigorous in their workouts.
"Even if you adjust for other forms of physical activity, walking
or biking to work really does add an additional benefit," explains
Penny Gordon-Larsen, Ph.D., an assistant professor of nutrition at
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "It really shows
that working physical activity in, even if you can't get to a gym,
could have beneficial health outcomes for people."
Of course there's also the problem of which came first, are already
active people more likely to be active commuters as well, or is the
walk (or bike) to work planting the seed for being more active in other
areas of life as well?
Being an active commuter isn't easy.
Beyond the challenge of arriving
to work sweat-covered and panting, an active commute is often hampered
by crumbling sidewalks, few bike paths and real concerns about safety.
Zoning in many U.S. cities keeps commercial and residential areas
separate, and this makes commutes longer and being active along the
way nearly impossible.
Cities that build bike paths have higher rates of biking, as do workplaces
that have on-site showers, changing areas and a secure place to keep
your bike during the day.
