| Description | BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) was defined in a worldwide scientific community as one of the most important factors in dealing with issues of prevention and public health. AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze physical activity of adult population of the South-ern Moravia area of the Czech Republic and to observe differences in selected demographic aspects of active transport. METHODS: To estimate the weekly level of PA we used randomized data in 1110 respondents in Southtern Moravia region aged 42. RESULTS: The total weekly PA did not affect either participation in organized PA or BMI. People who have easy walking distances to many sites directly from home indicate higher transport PA. CONCLUSION: Once there are opportunities, it is necessary to maintain and expand the environmental conditions to support active transport. Comunal policy in the various regions in the Czech Republic must solve specific problems within their environment and to highlight attractive places for active living. |
