The concept of Green Exercise has now been widely adopted and
implies a synergistic health benefit of being active in the
presence of nature. This book provides a balanced overview and
synthesis text on all aspects of Green Exercise and integrates
evidence from many different disciplines including physiology,
ecology, psychology, sociology and the environmental sciences, and
across a wide range of countries. It describes the impact of Green
Exercise on human health and well-being through all stages of the
lifecourse and covers a wide spectrum from cellular processes such
as immune function through to facilitating human behavioural
change. It demonstrates the value of Green Exercise for activity
and education purposes in both schools and the workplace, as well
as its therapeutic properties. Green Exercise is an effective
intervention for vulnerable groups and promoting healthy ageing,
with activities including wilderness therapy, therapeutic
horticulture and the use of forests and water. Chapters also
integrate cross-cutting key themes which are relevant to all stages
of the lifecourse and have significantly contributed to the Green
Exercise research base, such as forest bathing and blue exercise.
The book also explores the future of Green Exercise, the way in
which research can be used to influence green design and planning
and how health, social care and environmental agendas can be
integrated to enable Green Exercise to be more widely used as a
mechanism for improving health.
