Abstract

Since 2007, the Ministry of Environment in partnership with 20 private and public organizations have implemented the Move on Bikes program (by its name in Spanish Muévete en Bici) (MEB) in Mexico City. The main objectives of this study were to estimate the participation, physical activity levels among MEB participants, and the association of the frequency of participation with sociodemographic, physical and program participation characteristics. 2. On the questionnaire participants reported their birthdate, last grade of school completed, zip code, marital status (single, married, widowed, divorced, or separated), weight, and height. Additional questionnaire items (i.e., “What is the main activity you perform during the program?” and “How many hours do you usually spend in the program?”) were used to measure the type of physical activity (cycle, walk, jog/run, rollerblade) and the typical duration spent in the program on the day the questionnaire was completed.
