About this trial
The aim of the study is to assess health data (heart rate variability, blood pressure, blood glucose, particulate matter pollution) and travel characteristics (length, duration and type of commute) on the way to and from work from members of the universities in Hannover (Germany).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Heart rate variability (HRV)
HRV measured by a wearable activity tracker
Time frame
24 hours on two separate days for the short-term subgroup, and 7 consecutive days for the long-term subgroupSecondary outcomes
1
Blood glucose concentration
Intraindividual difference in blood glucose concentration between active and passive commuting as assessed with continuous blood glucose monitoring (Freestyle Libre 3)
Time frame
24 hours on two separate days for the short-term subgroup2
Work-Ability-Index
Interindividual difference between work ability as assessed with the Work-Ability-Index-Questionnaire. By adding up the points obtained from the questionnaire, scores can range from 7 to 49 points. The lower the score, the greater the discrepancy between the job demands placed on the respondent and their individual ability to cope with them.
Time frame
Once at baseline for both study subgroups3
24 hour blood pressure
Intraindividual difference in 24 hour arterial blood pressure between active and passive commuting as assessed with 24 hour systolic and diastolic blood pressure monitoring (Boso TM-2450)
Time frame
24 hours on two separate days for the short-term subgroup4
Daily moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) duration
Interindividual difference in MVPA as assessed with a wearable activity tracker (Garmin Smartwatch Forerunner 55)
Time frame
7 consecutive days for the long-term subgroupSponsors and contacts
