abstract = {Background: Active commuting could provide an opportunity to counteract unhealthy
behaviours, such as insufficient levels of Physical Activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour, which
are major health problems in the university population. The aims of this study were to describe
and compare self-reported and device-measured in commuting behaviours, PA, and sedentary
behaviour in both trips (to and from university) by mode of commuting per weekday, and to identify
associations between self-reported and device-measured of commuting behaviours, PA, and sedentary
behaviour. Methods: After inclusion criteria, a total of 63 students (65.1% women) from a public
university in Cádiz, Spain, participated in this study. Self-reported and device-measured information
was used. Results: Commuting time, distance, and speed were lower in active commuters than
public and private commuters in both trips (to and from university) (all, p < 0.001). Commuting
energy expenditure per min was higher in active commuters than public and private commuters
(all, p < 0.001). Active commuters presented significant differences (p < 0.05) with public and
private commuters in all PA levels and sedentary behaviour in both trips (to and from university).
Conclusions: Active commuting involved the highest levels of energy expenditure per min and could
contribute 44% of the weekly PA recommendation for health benefits in university students.},
