The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the perceived benefits of walking, especially in regard to energy conservation, was related to daily physical activity. Participants (n=1,062) completed questionnaires assessing socio-demographic factors, walking time, and perceived benefits of walking consisting of 7 factors including energy conservation. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (AOR), 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) and P for linear trends. The adjusted odds ratios indicated that there was an association between walking time and perceived benefit of walking for energy conservation, suggesting that the perception of ecological sustainability might be effective for promoting physical activity.
