Habitual physical activity is an important determinant of health, yet many people are considered to be inactive. Identification of the obstacles to greater participation is necessary for the development of strategies to overcome those obstacles. The weather has been identified as a perceived barrier to participation in physical activity, but exactly which adverse weather conditions are most important, and the extent to which they contribute to decreases in physical activity have rarely been quantified in populations. In the past decade, a small number of studies have used publicly available databases to examine the quantitative effects of weather (e.g., temperature, precipitation, wind) on physical activity in children, adolescents and adults. This review examines our historical, qualitative versus emerging, quantitative understanding of how specific weather conditions affect a population's activity.
习惯性的身体活动是健康的一个重要决定因素，但许多人被认为是不活跃的。确定更大参与度的障碍对于制定克服这些障碍的策略是必要的。天气已被确定为参与身体活动的一个感知障碍，但究竟哪些不利的天气条件是最重要的，以及它们在多大程度上导致身体活动的减少，在人群中很少被量化过。在过去的十年中，少数研究使用公开可用的数据库来研究天气（例如，温度、降水、风）对儿童、青少年和成年人身体活动的定量影响。本综述考察了我们对特定天气条件如何影响人群活动的历史的、定性的和新兴的、定量的理解。
