Urban greenspace is hypothesised to be an important location for physical activity in children, but their actual use of the resource to be active is not well known. In this study, global positioning systems (GPS) and accelerometers were used to measure activity within green environments for 902 English children aged 11-12. We summarised activity intensities in different types of greenspace on weekday evenings, weekend days and by season. Around half of outdoor moderate-vigorous activity took place in greenspace at the weekend and use was consistent across seasons. The findings suggest the importance of certain types of greenspace to children's physical activity.
城市绿地被认为是儿童进行体育活动的重要场所,但他们实际利用该资源进行活动的情况并不为人所知。在这项研究中,使用全球定位系统(GPS)和加速度计来测量 902 名 11-12 岁英国儿童在绿色环境中的活动情况。我们总结了平日傍晚、周末和不同季节不同类型绿地的活动强度。大约一半的户外中高强度活动是在周末的绿地中进行的,而且这种使用情况在各个季节都保持一致。研究结果表明,某些类型的绿地对儿童的体育活动很重要。
