In the last few years, interest about the natural environment and its influences on health conditions has been growing. In particular, physical activity interventions carried out in blue and green environment are being investigated as a potential strategy to increase health outcomes in people with and without chronic conditions. Many recent studies reported positive results, but a high number of these studies were focused on people with mental or physical disorders. In this scenario, the present systematic review, conducted according to the PRISMA statement, was aimed at investigating the existing evidence regarding the effects of physical activity interventions carried out in green-blue space settings involving healthy people. A literature search was performed through PubMed, Cochrane, Cinahl, and Psychinfo, and the quality of each study was assessed. Out of 239 identified articles, 75 full texts were screened. Six eligible studies showed an improvement in health outcomes, such as well-being, mood, and physical performance, in the experimental group compared with the control group. No exhaustive conclusion can be drawn based on available evidence. However, this systematic review highlighted the need to extend this kind of intervention to reveal more robust evidence that green and blue exercises benefit health.
在过去的几年中,人们对自然环境及其对健康状况的影响的兴趣日益浓厚。特别是,在蓝色和绿色环境中进行的身体活动干预措施,正被作为一种提高有和没有慢性疾病的人群健康结果的潜在策略进行研究。许多最近的研究报告了积极的结果,但其中很大一部分研究集中在有精神或身体障碍的人群上。在这种情况下,本系统评价是根据 PRISMA 声明进行的,旨在调查在涉及健康人群的绿色-蓝色空间环境中进行身体活动干预的现有证据,以评估其对健康结果的影响。通过 PubMed、Cochrane、Cinahl 和 Psychinfo 进行了文献检索,并对每项研究的质量进行了评估。在确定的 239 篇文章中,筛选了 75 篇全文。六项合格的研究表明,实验组的健康结果(如幸福感、情绪和身体表现)比对照组有所改善。基于现有证据,不能得出全面的结论。然而,本系统评价强调需要将这种干预措施扩展到更广泛的人群,以揭示更有力的证据,证明绿色和蓝色运动有益于健康。
