  • Validation of the behavioral regulation in cycling to and from school scale among students from Germany

    Open AccessDorothea M I Schönbach, Adilson Marques et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026References: 2

    The prevalence of total physical activity among children and adolescents in Germany is reported to be low (D-) according to the country-specific Report Card from 2022. One potential strategy to increase physical activity is the promotion of cycling to and from school. To foster a more self-determined form of motivation among students, we developed a promising intervention grounded in the self-determination theory, as demonstrated in previous rese…
