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