Title: Promoting active commuting to increase physical activity among office workers: A social cognitive approach
Abstract: In this research, social cognitive theory was used to develop, implement and evaluate the "Commuter Choices" program, a workplace based health promotion program that supported office workers to add regular physical activity to their routine through active commuting (walking or cycling to work). The intervention group added an average of 47 minutes/week of additional physical activity to their commuting. The program addressed behavioural and social factors to support workers to increase their active commuting, and the process evaluation identified that strategies addressing self-regulation were the most effective at increasing participants' physical activity.
