To promote children’s health, it is suggested that they undertake an average of 60 minutes of daily physical activity. However, few children meet this recommendation.

In accordance with this, the research in this thesis is expected to expand the existing knowledge about children’s active transportation. The overall aim of the thesis was to explore facilitating aspects of AST and how to make interventions feasible in a school context.
