自然环境对体力活动的重要性已被广泛研究。然而，目前还没有足够的证据来解释NE-PA关系背后的动机过程。本研究的目的是调查的NE-PA关系使用的生态框架，专注于感知的内斯，童年的经验和可能的内部和个体间的调解人。数据来自挪威各地的2168名成年人的横断面调查。此外，还从国家登记册中检索了各市镇对内斯的覆盖率。Logistic回归分析显示，与自我报告的接近内斯，较高的评级的PA预测参与NE为基础的PA为至少60分钟/周或150分钟/周，之前和之后控制的社会人口特征的内斯的感知一致性。报告在童年时期经常在自然界的经验也是一个重要的预测较高水平的NE为基础的PA。此外，中介分析表明，这两个预测因素的影响是中介的“对自然的感情”和“社交网络”。这些研究结果表明，要鼓励使用本地NE PA，不仅要考虑到环境的看法，对自然的积极感受，以及与他人分享活动的机会，也应该促进。
The importance of natural environments (NEs) for physical activity (PA) has been studied extensively. However, there is scant evidence to explain the motivational processes underlying the NE-PA relation. The aim of this study was to investigate the NE-PA relation using an ecological framework, focusing on perception of NEs, childhood experiences and possible intra- and inter-individual mediators. Data were retrieved from a cross-sectional survey among 2168 adults from all over Norway. In addition, the coverage of NEs by municipalities was retrieved from national registers. Logistic regression showed that, unlike the self-reported proximity to NEs, higher ratings of perceived supportiveness of NEs for PA predicted participation in NE-based PA for at least 60 min/week or 150 min/week, before and after controlling for socio-demographic characteristics. Reporting frequent experiences in nature during childhood was also an important predictor of higher levels of NE-based PA. Furthermore, a mediational analysis showed that the effect of both predictors was mediated by “feelings about nature” and “social networks”. These findings indicate that to encourage the use of local NE for PA, not only should environmental perceptions be taken into account, positive feelings towards nature alongside opportunities to share activity in nature with others should also be promoted.
