人类与环境相互作用的研究通常考虑环境对个体的极端影响或人类如何影响环境。众所周知，体育活动可以改善生理和心理健康，但需要进一步的证据来确定不同的环境如何影响和塑造健康。这篇综述考虑了身体活动水平的下降，特别是在西方世界，以及环境如何帮助激发和促进身体活动。它还解决了在户外环境中进行锻炼时出现的额外生理和心理健康益处。然而，人们与自然的联系似乎正在发生变化，这对于人类现在如何与自然互动具有重要影响。障碍是存在的，在讨论如何让户外锻炼变得对所有人有利且有益时，考虑这些障碍非常重要。锻炼和接触大自然的协同结合以及“户外活动”可以作为一个强大的工具来帮助对抗日益增长的缺乏身体活动和非传染性疾病的发病率。
The studies of human and environment interactions usually consider the extremes of environment on individuals or how humans affect the environment. It is well known that physical activity improves both physiological and psychological well-being, but further evidence is required to ascertain how different environments influence and shape health. This review considers the declining levels of physical activity, particularly in the Western world, and how the environment may help motivate and facilitate physical activity. It also addresses the additional physiological and mental health benefits that appear to occur when exercise is performed in an outdoor environment. However, people’s connectedness to nature appears to be changing and this has important implications as to how humans are now interacting with nature. Barriers exist, and it is important that these are considered when discussing how to make exercise in the outdoors accessible and beneficial for all. The synergistic combination of exercise and exposure to nature and thus the ‘great outdoors’ could be used as a powerful tool to help fight the growing incidence of both physical inactivity and non-communicable disease.
