Physiological Health Outcomes of Green Exercise: A Systematic Study

Session

Sport, Health and Society

Description

This study aims to examine the physiological effects of green exercise. Generally, human and environment interaction studies take into account the extremes of the environment on people or how people affect the environment. It is known that exercise positively affects physiological health. This systematic study addresses declining levels of exercise in today's world societies and how the environment can help facilitate exercise. It also addresses the physiological health benefits that occur when exercising outdoors. Activities in many green environments including forests, seaside, rural areas, parks, green areas, and even gardens, benefit human health. The focus of this systematic study is to examine the literature in relation to the physiological changes that occur as a result of participating in green exercise. Accordingly, English- language articles published in PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Sports DISCUS databases that were published between 2015 and 2022 were investigated. In total, 645 articles were studied. 12 of the articles reviewed by experts have been evaluated for use in the study. Studies show that green exercise improves physiological health, prevents diseases at the biochemical level, has a positive effect on rehabilitation programs, and even reduces health care costs. As a result, it is thought that exercising in green areas and outdoors will benefit, especially to overcome the health problems faced by developed countries. In addition, outdoor or nature should not be considered as a playground for people who are just doing extreme sports and looking for excitement, it is very important to distribute it to the whole community in order to improve health.
