Background: To more accurately quantify the potential impact of the neighbourhood environment on adults’
physical activity (PA), it is important to compare environment-PA associations between periods of the day or week
when adults are more versus less likely to be in their neighbourhood and utilise its PA resources. We examined
whether, among adults from 10 countries, associations between objectively-assessed neighbourhood environment
attributes and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) varied by time of the day and day of the week. The
secondary aim was to examine whether such associations varied by employment status, gender and city.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 6,712 adults from 14 cities across 10 countries with ≥1 day of valid
accelerometer-assessed MVPA and complete information on socio-demographic and objectively-assessed
environmental characteristics within 0.5 and 1 km street-network buffers around the home. Accelerometer
measures (MVPA min/h) were created for six time periods from early morning until late evening/night, for
weekdays and weekend days separately. Associations were estimated using generalized additive mixed models.
Results: Time of the day, day of week, gender and employment status were significant moderators of environment-
MVPA associations. Land use mix was positively associated with MVPA in women who were employed and in men
irrespective of their employment status. The positive associations between MVPA and net residential density,
intersection density and land use mix were stronger in the mornings of weekdays and the afternoon/evening periods
of both weekdays and weekend days. Associations between number of parks and MVPA were stronger in the
mornings and afternoon/evenings irrespective of day of the week. Public transport density showed consistent positive
associations with MVPA during weekends, while stronger effects on weekdays were observed in the morning and early
evenings. Conclusions: This study suggests that space and time constraints in adults’ daily activities are important factors that
determine the impact of neighbourhood attributes on PA. Consideration of time-specific associations is important to
better characterise the magnitude of the effects of the neighbourhood environment on PA. Future research will need
to examine the contribution of built environment characteristics of areas surrounding other types of daily life centres
(e.g., workplaces) to explaining adults’ PA at specific times of the day. [--]
