本研究的目的是检查Shinrin-yoku（在森林的气氛中）的生理效应。研究对象为12名男大学生。在实验的第一天，六名受试者去了森林地区，另六名去了城市地区作为对照。第二天，受试者去相反的区域进行交叉检查。在下午，他们坐在椅子上看风景的给定区域为15分钟。心率变异性（HRV），唾液皮质醇和脉搏率作为生理指标，测量在早上和晚上在住宿的地方，之前和之后，看风景的领域领域。森林地区被试者心率变异性的高频功率显著高于城市地区被试者。林区受试者的脉率明显低于城区受试者。森林地区受试者唾液皮质醇浓度显著低于城市地区受试者。生理测量的结果表明，Shinrin-yoku是一种有效的放松形式。
The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological effects of Shinrin-yoku (taking in the atmosphere of the forest). The subjects were 12 male university students. On the first day of the experiments, six subjects went to the forest area, and the other six went to a city area as a control. On the second day, subjects went to the opposite areas as a cross-check. In the afternoon, they were seated on chairs watching the landscapes of their given area for 15 min. Heart rate variability (HRV), salivary cortisol and pulse rate were measured as physiological indices in the morning and in the evening at the place of accommodation, before and after watching the landscapes in the field areas. The high-frequency power of HRV of subjects in the forest area was significantly higher than that of subjects in the city area. The pulse rate of subjects in the forest area was significantly lower than that of subjects in the city area. The salivary cortisol concentration of the subjects in the forest area was significantly lower than that of subjects in the city area. The results of physiological measurements show that Shinrin-yoku was an effective form of relaxation.
