ABSTRACT

Introduction: One of the great challenges of society is to fight sedentary lifestyle to prevent the onset of cardiovascular diseases and problems associated with physical inactivity. Public bicycle systems are a sustainable and equitable alternative offered by different institutions to alleviate low levels of physical activity and to reduce pollution in cities and motor traffic problems.
Objective: To know if the users of the public bicycle sharing system of Vilagarcía de Arousa (Spain) comply with the recommendations of physical activity for health established by the WHO.
Material and Methods: In this longitudinal section study, an analysis of the use of shared bicycles in a municipality in northwestern Spain was carried out, checking whether the minimum physical activity recommendations for health set by the WHO in 2010 were reached. The SPSS software was used to perform the statistical calculations. The sample consisted of a total of 3268 users of the shared bicycle service and a total of 84183 uses were counted from July 17, 2009 to January 18, 2012.
Results: The results indicate that users of the Vaibike bicycle sharing system of Vilagarcía de Arousa comply with the minimum recommendations of physical activity given that the average number of minutes of use of bicycles is greater than 30 minutes.
Conclusions: The routes that have had more minutes of use of the bicycles of the system have been those corresponding to the center and those that run along the coast of the city, exceeding 30 minutes of use and complying with the recommendations set by the WHO in 2010.
