Experiences in nature are now recognised as being fundamental to
human health and well-being. Physical activity in nature has been
posited as an important well-being facilitator because the presence
of nature augments the benefits of physical activity while also
enhancing motivation and adherence. This volume brings together a
mix of cutting edge ideas in research, theory and practice from a
wide set of disciplines with the purpose of exploring
interdisciplinary or trans-disciplinary approaches to understanding
the relationship between physical activity in nature and health and
well-being. Nature and Health: Physical Activity in Nature is
structured to facilitate ease of use for the researcher, policy
maker, practitioner or theorist. Section 1 covers research on
physical activity in nature for a number of important health and
well-being issues. Each chapter in this section considers how
policy and practice might be shaped by current research findings
and knowledge. Section 2 considers contemporary theoretical and
conceptual understandings that help explain how physical activity
in nature enhances health and well-being and also how best to
design interventions and research. Section 3 provides examples of
current approaches. This book is an ideal resource for both
researchers and advanced students interested in designing
future-proofed research, for policy makers interested in improving
community well-being and for practitioners interested in best
practice applications.
