Green exercise can be classified into three levels based on engagement with nature. Although this classification was proposed more than a decade ago, few studies have investigated it since. The present study examined the effects of green exercise levels on engagement with nature and physical activity (PA) through a field experiment. A questionnaire was distributed to 95 students from a technology university in Central Taiwan to measure their level of engagement with nature in people-environment transactions, while their PA was measured using three instruments. In addition, because social interaction may distract individual attention from activities or their environments, the present study incorporated the presence of partners as a control variable. The results revealed that (1) engagement with nature and PA significantly differed between the levels of green exercise, and the higher the level of green exercise participated in, the greater the level of engagement with nature; and (2) although the presence of partners did not influence the level of engagement with nature, it significantly affected the level of PA.
绿色运动可以根据与自然的接触程度分为三个层次。尽管这种分类是十多年前提出的，但此后很少有研究对此进行调查。本研究通过现场实验检验了绿色运动水平对与自然的接触和体育活动（PA）的影响。一份问卷分发给台湾中部一所科技大学的 95 名学生，以衡量他们在人与环境交易中与自然的接触程度，而他们的 PA 则使用三种仪器进行测量。此外，由于社会互动可能会分散个人对活动或环境的注意力，本研究将伴侣的存在作为控制变量纳入其中。结果表明：（1）绿色运动水平的与自然的接触程度和 PA 存在显著差异，参与的绿色运动水平越高，与自然的接触程度就越高；（2）尽管伴侣的存在并不影响与自然的接触程度，但它对 PA 的水平有显著影响。
