Abstract

Green exercise has emerged as a pivotal means to enhance physical and mental health. However, its efficacy can be compromised by uncontrollable external factors, such as weather and environmental conditions. This study was a preregistered review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42024518197) that explored the feasibility of simulation green exercise as an alternative in indoor exercise and assessed its moderating variables with the aim of developing optimal intervention strategies. A comprehensive search of five English-language databases was conducted, and a meta-analysis of outcome indicators was performed on 560 subjects in 12 selected studies. Subgroup, regression, and sensitivity analysis were used to explore the sources and moderating factors of heterogeneity. The findings reveal significant benefits of simulation green exercise on Psychological recovery function. (1) The simulation green exercise significantly improved participants' mood compared with the control group (SMD [95% CI] = 0.233 [0.098; 0.367], p = 0.001, PI = [−0.373; 0.838]). (2) The simulation green exercise significantly improved participants’ attention compared with the control group (SMD [95% CI] = 0.350 [0.191; 0.509], p < 0.001, PI = [−0.167; 0.533]). (3) Subgroup analysis showed a significant difference between exercise intensity subgroup and duration subgroup in mood index (p = 0.05). Low-intensity exercise for 5–10 min during a simulation green exercise had the best effect on improving mood. In addition, the type of display subgroup showed almost significant (p = 0.06), indicating that 2D media promoted the emotional recovery effect when simulation green exercise. (4) Subgroup analysis showed a significant difference in the audio subgroup in the attention index (p = 0.02). The combination of audio and video significantly improved attention. (5) Regression analysis showed almost significant between the exercise intensity group and the exercise duration group (p = 0.09; p = 0.07). Low-intensity, short-duration of simulation green exercise can improve mood. Therefore, it is recommended to perform low-intensity, short-duration of simulation green exercise, and use 2D media combined with audio-visual stimulation. However, the number of relevant studies is relatively small, and expanding the findings is difficult. As such, future studies should aim to increase empirical studies focused on diverse age groups and genders, enhance VR quality to mitigate cybersickness, and further investigate the role of audiovisual multisensory stimulation in simulation green exercise programs.

模拟绿色运动的心理恢复功能：荟萃分析和系统综述

绿色运动已成为增进身心健康的重要手段。然而，天气和环境条件等不可控的外部因素可能会影响其功效。本研究是一项预先登记的综述和荟萃分析（PROSPERO：CRD42024518197），探讨了模拟绿色运动作为室内运动替代方案的可行性，并评估了其调节变量，旨在制定最佳干预策略。我们对五个英文数据库进行了全面检索，并对 12 项选定研究中的 560 名受试者的结果指标进行了荟萃分析。采用分组分析、回归分析和敏感性分析来探讨异质性的来源和调节因素。研究结果显示，模拟绿色运动对心理恢复功能有明显的益处。(1）与对照组相比，模拟绿色运动明显改善了参与者的情绪（SMD [95% CI] = 0.233 [0.098; 0.367]，P = 0.001，PI = [-0.373; 0.838]）。(2) 与对照组相比，模拟绿色运动显著提高了参与者的注意力（SMD [95% CI] = 0.350 [0.191; 0.509]，P < 0.001，PI = [-0.167; 0.533]）。(3）亚组分析显示，运动强度亚组与持续时间亚组在情绪指数方面存在显著差异（P = 0.05）。在模拟绿色运动中进行 5-10 分钟的低强度运动对改善情绪的效果最好。此外，显示类型亚组显示几乎显著（p = 0.06），表明二维媒体在模拟绿色运动时对情绪恢复有促进作用。(4）分组分析显示，音频分组的注意力指数差异显著（p = 0.02）。音频和视频的结合明显提高了注意力。(5) 回归分析显示，运动强度组和运动持续时间组之间几乎存在显著差异（p = 0.09；p = 0.07）。低强度、短时间的模拟绿色运动可以改善情绪。因此，建议进行低强度、短时间的模拟绿色运动，并使用二维媒体结合视听刺激。然而，相关研究的数量相对较少，很难扩展研究结果。因此，未来的研究应着眼于增加针对不同年龄组和性别的实证研究，提高虚拟现实质量以减轻晕机感，并进一步研究视听多感官刺激在模拟绿色运动项目中的作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
