Cycling and walking for transport: Estimating net health effects from comparison of different transport mode users' self-reported physical activity

Since the share obtaining net health gains might have a huge impact on cost-benefit analysis of new or improved infrastructure for cyclists/pedestrians, it is of importance to estimate this share. A main limitation of our estimation is the cross-sectional design. There is a need for more case studies combining surveys and objective measurement of physical activity changes, preferably before and after the construction of new infrastructure. </AbstractSection> Copyright Veisten et al; licensee Springer 2011
