Changes in Self-Efficacy and Outcome Expectations from Child Participation in Bicycle Trains for Commuting to and from School

Active commuting to school (ACS) is associated with increased physical activity and lowered risk of obesity. In observational studies, ACS was associated with child self-efficacy, parent self-efficacy and parent outcome expectations, although few experiments have assessed changes in these behavioral constructs. This study examined the effects of a bicycle train intervention on child self-efficacy, parent self-efficacy and parent outcome expectations in a diverse, low socioeconomic status (SES) population.
