背景尽管越来越多的关注森林疗法作为一种替代医学，很少有证据继续提供其治疗效果。因此，本研究的重点是阐明森林行走对心血管反应性的健康益处。方法.组内比较用于检查在森林和城市环境中行走的心血管反应。48名年轻的成年男性参加了为期两天的实地研究。测量心率变异性、心率和血压的变化以了解心血管反应性。本研究采用四种不同的问卷调查方法，探讨步行活动后心理状态的变化。结果与城市步行相比，森林步行使ln（HF）值显著升高，ln（LF/HF）值显著降低。在森林行走的心率显着低于对照组。问卷调查结果显示，与城市步行相比，森林步行显著降低了负性情绪状态和焦虑水平。结论在森林环境中行走可以通过促进副交感神经系统和抑制交感神经系统来促进心血管放松。此外，森林疗法可能对减少消极心理症状有效。
Background. Despite increasing attention toward forest therapy as an alternative medicine, very little evidence continues to be available on its therapeutic effects. Therefore, this study was focused on elucidating the health benefits of forest walking on cardiovascular reactivity. Methods. Within-group comparisons were used to examine the cardiovascular responses to walking in forest and urban environments. Forty-eight young adult males participated in the two-day field research. Changes in heart rate variability, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured to understand cardiovascular reactivity. Four different questionnaires were used to investigate the changes in psychological states after walking activities. Results. Forest walking significantly increased the values of ln(HF) and significantly decreased the values of ln(LF/HF) compared with the urban walking. Heart rate during forest walking was significantly lower than that in the control. Questionnaire results showed that negative mood states and anxiety levels decreased significantly by forest walking compared with urban walking. Conclusion. Walking in the forest environment may promote cardiovascular relaxation by facilitating the parasympathetic nervous system and by suppressing the sympathetic nervous system. In addition, forest therapy may be effective for reducing negative psychological symptoms.
