In metropolitan areas where land resources are scarce, trails are a more suitable environment for cardiorespiratory fitness training for modern people. Previous studies have demonstrated that cardiorespiratory fitness is an important factor in assessing individual health and have focused on individual training performance, but the relationship between environment and cardiorespiratory fitness training participants has rarely been investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the demands for outdoor cardiorespiratory fitness training and a favorable trail environment by comparing the differences in exercise intensity and perceptions between outdoor and indoor environments. In this study, information on physical data, psychological feedback, and visual atmosphere was collected from nine participants during each phase of moderate intensity cardiorespiratory fitness training in indoor and outdoor environments. The results revealed that outdoor cardiorespiratory fitness training provided participants with lower training intensity during the active exercise phase and higher heart rate during the stretching phase compared to indoor training. The participants paid more attention to the slope, length, pavement, Spaciousness, and width of the trails and the circuitous route. The change of the visual atmosphere and the scenery for the environmental factors were the important factors to motivate the participants to train. The results of the study could assist participants to understand a favorable cardiorespiratory training environment and design a suitable training program, as well as provide a model for trail planning and design for government.
在土地资源稀缺的大都市地区，步道对于现代人来说是更适合进行心肺适能训练的环境。以往的研究表明，心肺适能是评估个人健康的一个重要因素，并且以往研究聚焦于个人训练表现，但环境与心肺适能训练参与者之间的关系却鲜有研究。本研究的目的是通过比较室外和室内环境下运动强度和感知的差异，来调查户外心肺适能训练的需求以及适宜的步道环境。在本研究中，在室内和室外环境进行中等强度心肺适能训练的每个阶段，收集了9名参与者的身体数据、心理反馈和视觉氛围等信息。结果显示，与室内训练相比，户外心肺适能训练在主动运动阶段为参与者提供了更低的训练强度，在拉伸阶段则有更高的心率。参与者更关注步道的坡度、长度、路面、宽敞度和宽度以及迂回路线。视觉氛围的变化和环境因素中的风景是激励参与者训练的重要因素。该研究结果可以帮助参与者了解适宜的心肺训练环境并设计合适的训练计划，同时也为政府提供步道规划和设计的范例。
