Should I walk, cycle or drive? Active-to-passive travel directness and mode choice across 15 months of GPS-traced trips

Improving active travel infrastructure may not substantially increase cycling and walking if motorised transport continues to be largely perceived as the easier and more convenient option. Here, we develop a measure of comparative directnes...

Effects of maternal exercise during pregnancy on neonatal weight and subcutaneous fat thickness

BackgroundExercise during pregnancy is closely related to maternal and infant health. Previous studies in developed countries have linked maternal exercise during pregnancy with newborn body weight as well as subcutaneous fat thickness. How...

Identifying urban features for vulnerable road user safety in Europe

Abstract One of the targets of the UN Sustainable Development Goals is to substantially reduce the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic collisions. To this aim, European cities adopted various urban mobility policies, whic...

Visual Context and Behavioral Priming in Pedestrian Crossing Decisions: Evidence from a Stated Preference Experiment in Ecuadorian Urban Areas

Pedestrian safety in developing countries faces critical challenges from rapid urbanization and infrastructure deficiencies. This study investigates how visual context influences pedestrian crossing preferences through a controlled stated p...

Berlin Pankow: a 15-min city for everyone? A case study combining accessibility, traffic noise, air pollution, and socio-structural data

Abstract Cars are dominating urban traffic in cities around the world, even though daily trips in many cities are often realized with active modes of transportation or public transport. Urban transport planning processes need to adapt to th...

Sensorimotor-Conceptual Integration in Free Walking Enhances Divergent Thinking for Young and Older Adults

Prior research has shown that free walking can enhance creative thinking. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether bidirectional body-mind links are essential for the positive effect of free walking on creative thinking. Moreover, it is unk...

Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Effects of gait support in patients with spinocerebellar degeneration by a wearable robot based on synchronization control

Abstract Background Spinocerebellar degeneration (SCD) mainly manifests a cerebellar ataxic gait, leading to marked postural sway and the risk of falling down. Gait support using a wearable robot is expected to be an effective solution to m...

Physical Activity and Public Health

In 1995 the American College of Sports Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published national guidelines on Physical Activity and Public Health.The Committee on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabilitation of the American Hea...

The metabolic equivalents of one-mile walking by older adults; implications for health promotion

Background: Instructions for older adults regarding the intensity of walking may not elicit an intensity to infer health gains. We recorded the metabolic equivalents (METs) during a 1-mile walk using constant and predicted values of resting...

Transportation and Public Health

This article investigates various ways that transportation policy and planning decisions affect public health and better ways to incorporate public health objectives into transport planning. Conventional planning tends to consider some publ...

Pulsed force sequences for fast phase-insensitive quantum gates in trapped ions

We show how to create quantum gates of arbitrary speed between trapped ions using a laser walking wave, with complete insensitivity to the drift of the optical phase, and requiring cooling only to the Lamb–Dicke regime. We present pulse seq...

Monitoring pedestrian walking dynamics under environmental and policy influences in urban spaces

Abstract Understanding how environmental conditions and policy interventions jointly shape pedestrian mobility is essential for designing resilient, adaptive, and human-centered urban spaces. This study presents a computer-vision framework ...

Impact of Water Depth on Subway Emergency Evacuation in Flood Scenarios

[Objective] Evacuation bottlenecks for subway stations in flood scenarios are investigated to enhance subway station personnel evacuation efficiency under water inundation and backflow conditions, and provide insights for developing subway ...

Thorax-Segment- and Leg-Segment-Specific Motor Control for Adaptive Behavior

We have just started to understand the mechanisms underlying flexibility of motor programs among segmental neural networks that control each individual leg during walking in vertebrates and invertebrates. Here, we investigated the mechanism...

A Novel Methodology for Human Kinematics Motion Detection Based on Smartphones Sensor Data Using Artificial Intelligence

Kinematic motion detection aims to determine a person’s actions based on activity data. Human kinematic motion detection has many valuable applications in health care, such as health monitoring, preventing obesity, virtual reality, daily li...

Energy expenditure during treadmill walking with a commercial plantar-vibration shoe and internal-focus attentional instructions in healthy young women: an exploratory randomized crossover study.
