abstract = {Background: Active commuting to school may increase the total daily physical activity
and achieve health benefits among preschool children. Rates of active commuting to school among
Spanish children and adolescents have been widely analysed, while the rates of active commuting to
school among Spanish preschool children are unknown. Aim: The main objective of this study was
to examine the changes in the rates of active commuting to school in a sample of Spanish preschool
children between 3 and 6 years old from 2013 to 2017. Methods: Data were found from five studies
carried out across Spain. The study sample comprised 4787 preschool children (4.59   0.77 years old;
51% males). The overall changes in active commuting to school were assessed using multilevel
logistic regression analysis. Results: The rates of active commuting to school in Spanish preschool
children are around 52%, and the active commuting to school rates have stayed stable throughout
the period assessed (odds ratio from 0.40 to 0.58, all p > 0.05). Conclusion: In preschool children, the
present study obtained a favourable result on active commuting to school, showing a pattern stability
in the examined period similar to other ages. It will be of great importance to promote this behaviour
to obtain high levels of active commuting to school.},
