Naturaleza Los beneficios del contacto con la naturaleza en el bienestar son apoyados por la investigación de los entornos de restauración. Estudios en el ejercicio físico también reconocen los beneficios físicos y psicológicos del ejercicio outdoor, especialmente en entornos naturales. Este estudio investiga la relación entre el ejercicio outdoor y el bienestar, y el rol de la conectividad con la naturaleza. Los 282 practicantes de ejercicio contestaran un cuestionario informando el nivel de actividad física, la experiencia subjetiva con el ejercicio, las emociones y la conectividad con la naturaleza. Los practicantes de ejercicio outdoor y indoor reportan más emociones positivas y mejor bienestar asociado con el ejercicio que los practicantes solamente en entorno indoor. La conectividad con la naturaleza es un predictor de bienestar en el grupo de practicantes outdoor y indoor. Se discuten las implicaciones de los beneficios del ejercicio outdoor en la promoción de estilos de vida saludables.Descargas
