TL;DR
The inclusion of environmental factors increased the understanding of bicycle use for transportation and snacking behavior in adolescents and the environmental factors are suggested to be taken into account in interventions aimed at changing these behaviors in more healthy directions.
Abstract
The inclusion of environmental factors increased our understanding of bicycle use for transportation and snacking behavior in adolescents. The environmental factors are suggested to be taken into account in interventions aimed at changing these behaviors in more healthy directions.
