Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cycling to school is effective in the prevention of the metabolic syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Physical activity plays a crucial role in relation to prevent a clustering of risk factors. In adults a lower all-cause mortality has been found in those cycling to work compared to inactive commuters. It thus seems possible that cycling to school will entail health beneficial effects for children.
