Everyday Pedelec Use and Its Effect on Meeting Physical Activity Guidelines
Bibliographic Data
Pedelecs (e-bikes with electrical support up to 25 km·h -1 ) are important in active transportation. Yet, little is known about physiological responses during their everyday use. We compared daily pedelec (P) and bicycle (B) use to determine if pedelecs are a suitable tool to enhance physical activity. In 101 employees, cycling duration and intensity, heart rate (HR) during P and B were recorded via a smartphone app. Each recording period was a randomized crossover design and lasted two weeks. The ride quantity was higher in P compared to B (5.3 ± 4.3 vs. 3.2 ± 4.0 rides·wk -1 ; p -1 ) compared to B (99 ± 109 min·wk -1 ; p p p -1 ; p < 0.01). Due to a sufficient HR increase in P, pedelecs offer a more active form of transportation to enhance physical activity
