This study explored how parks within the home neighborhood contribute to total physical activity (PA) by isolating park-related PA. Seattle-area adults (n = 634) were observed using time-matched accelerometer, Global Positioning System (GPS), and travel diary instruments. Of the average 42.3 min of daily total PA, only 11% was related to parks. Both home neighborhood park count and area were associated with park-based PA, but not with PA that occurred elsewhere, which comprised 89% of total PA. This study demonstrates clear benefits of neighborhood parks for contributing to park-based PA while helping explain why proximity to parks is rarely associated with overall PA.
本研究通过隔离与公园相关的活动,探究了居住社区内的公园对总身体活动(PA)的贡献。研究使用时间匹配的加速度计、全球定位系统(GPS)和旅行日记仪器对西雅图地区的成年人(n=634)进行了观察。在每天平均 42.3 分钟的总 PA 中,仅有 11%与公园有关。居住社区内公园的数量和面积均与基于公园的 PA 有关,但与发生在其他地方的 PA 无关,后者占总 PA 的 89%。本研究表明,社区公园显然有助于促进基于公园的 PA,同时也有助于解释为什么靠近公园很少与整体 PA 相关。
