Effectiveness and implementation of interventions to increase commuter cycling to school: a quasi-experimental study

Table 2 Adjusted analyses of changes in leisure time physical activity, cycling behaviour, cardiorespiratory fitness and weight status

Intervention vs. control (control group as reference)	Beta-coefficient (95 % CI)	p-value	Number
Change in leisure time physical activity (−4;+4)	−0.09 (−0.21; 0.03)	0.124^a	1470
Change in long term school cycling (−2;+2)	−0.02 (−0.10; 0.05)	0.485^a	1469
Change in cycling last week beyond school cycling (−3;+3)	−0.04 (−0.14; 0.05)	0.355^a	1469
Change in school cycling trips last week (−10;+10)	0.15 (−0.25;0.54)	0.463	1461
Change in cardiorespiratory fitness (mL O₂∙kg⁻¹∙min⁻¹)	−1.45 (−1.92;-1.00)	<0.001	1335
Change in BMI (kg∙m⁻²)	0.01 (−0.13; 0.15)	0.887	1390
Odds ratio of developing overweight or obesity^b	0.88 (0.50; 1.57)	0.675	1512

Beta-coefficients are from multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age, gender and baseline value. All delta variables are defined so that positive values reflect increases and vice versa. ^aThe categorical variables are treated as continuous. ^bOdds ratio is from multiple logistic regression analyses with prevalence of combined overweight and obesity at endline as the outcome adjusted for baseline BMI, age and gender (note that the control group is the reference and that this analysis included only those subjects who were lean at baseline). Study conducted at three different locations in Denmark, 2010–2011
