Sponsor's own description

Physical inactivity and sedentary are recognized as important risks factors for several diseases and total mortality. One of the main perceived barriers to physical activity is the lack of time and motivation. Active commuting during daily routine could overcome these barriers and e-bikes appears to be a promising and practical tool to meet physical activity guidelines. E-bikes are a physically active transportation mode, with a riding intensity contributing to activities in the moderate-intensity range (3-6 METs) for any of the assistance mode. Electric assistance is provided only when a rider is pedaling. The study VELONAPS mainly aims at investigating if real-life usage of utilitarian e-bike is associated with significant changes on total physical activity and sedentary patterns. During up to 4 months of free use of an e-bike, our purpose is to quantify its usage along with total physical activity and sedentary levels. We hypothesize that using an e-bike for commuting increase the total physical activity of at least 7.5 MET-h/week, increasing as well adherence to physical activity guidelines.
