摘要

积极的生活对个人的身心健康，以及社区福祉和社会凝聚力做出了重大贡献。户外和绿色环境提供了额外的好处，并决定了人们参与体育锻炼。地方政府制定的环境政策会影响市民积极生活和体育锻炼的习惯。本研究的目的是调查市民在城市开放空间的运动参与水平与地方当局提供的运动友好政策之间的关系。370名市民参加了本研究，他们在闲暇时间在城市空地和户外散步、骑自行车或慢跑/跑步。研究参与者完成了Godin休闲时间运动问卷(GLTEQ;Shephard, 1997)和environmental Friendly Exercise Policy Questionnaire (Kontogianni, 2015)，该问卷由三个量表组成:“加强运动的政策”、“环保运动设施”和“改变个人习惯的意愿”。参与者根据他们的运动时间得分分为三个不同的小组:高、中、低。结果显示，时间运动得分与环境友好运动政策量表之间存在统计学差异。参与运动时间越长的公民在环境友好型运动政策量表上的表达水平显著越高。市民在城市开放空间和户外的体育锻炼时间似乎影响了对环境友好政策的相应偏好、信念和意图的产生。城市领导人、主要决策者和利益相关者应提供有利的环境、合法性和领导力，促进城市空间中支持体育活动和绿色积极生活的政策的制定和实施。

Enhancing active living and physical exercise through environmentally friendly policies in urban areas

Abstract Active living offers a substantial contribution to the mental and physical health of individuals, as well as to community wellbeing and social cohesion. Outdoor and green environments offer additional benefits and determine people’s involvement in physical exercise. Environmental policies put in place by local governments affect citizens’ adoption of active living and physical exercise. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between citizens’ levels of exercise participation in urban open spaces and the provision of exercise-friendly policies by the local authorities. Three hundred and seventy citizens participated in the present study who took part in walking, bicycling, or jogging/ running during their leisure time in urban open spaces and outdoors. Research participants completed the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ; Shephard, 1997) and Environmentally Friendly Exercise Policy Questionnaire (Kontogianni, 2015), which consisted of three scales: “policy to enhance exercise,” “environmentally friendly exercise facilities,” and “intention to change personal habits.” Participants were divided into three different subgroups according to their time exercise scores: high, middle, and low. The results showed the statistically significant differences between time exercise scores and environmentally friendly exercise policy scales. Citizens with higher exercise time participation expressed significantly higher levels on the environmentally friendly exercise policy scales. Citizens’ physical exercise time in urban open spaces and outdoors seemed to affect the creation of corresponding preferences, beliefs, and intentions towards environmentally friendly policies. City leaders, essential decision-makers, and stakeholders are expected to provide an enabling environment, legitimacy, and leadership that fosters the development and implementation of policies that support physical activity and green active living within urban spaces.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
