与大自然的互动对人类有放松的作用。人们越来越关注城市绿地的治疗作用；然而，缺乏基于证据的实地研究。本研究为冬季在城市公园散步对年轻男性的生理和心理影响提供了科学依据。受试者（13名男性，年龄22.5±3.1岁）被要求在城市公园（测试）和城市地区（对照组）步行预定的15分钟路程。测量心率和心率变异性（HRV）来评估生理反应。采用语义差异（SD）法、情绪状态量表（POMS）和状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）测定心理反应。步行穿过城市公园时，心率显著低于步行穿过市区时，HRV高频分量的自然对数显著高于步行穿过市区时。三份问卷的结果表明，在城市公园散步改善了情绪，减少了负面情绪和焦虑。野外实验的生理和心理数据为在城市公园散步对健康的益处提供了重要的科学证据。研究结果支持了这样一个前提，即即使在冬天，在城市公园散步也有放松的效果。
Interaction with nature has a relaxing effect on humans. Increasing attention has been focused on the therapeutic effects of urban green space; however, there is a lack of evidence-based field research. This study provided scientific evidence supporting the physiological and psychological effects of walking on young males in urban parks in winter. Subjects (13 males aged 22.5 ± 3.1 years) were instructed to walk predetermined 15-minute courses in an urban park (test) and in the city area (control). Heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured to assess physiological responses. The semantic differential (SD) method, Profile of Mood States (POMS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to determine psychological responses. Heart rate was significantly lower and the natural logarithm of the high frequency component of HRV was significantly higher when walking through the urban park than through the city area. The results of three questionnaires indicated that walking in the urban park improved mood and decreased negative feelings and anxiety. Physiological and psychological data from this field experiment provide important scientific evidence regarding the health benefits of walking in an urban park. The results support the premise that walking in an urban park has relaxing effects even in winter.
