Sedentary behaviors are increasing in the population, so strategies for the increment of physical activity levels are needed. The use of green space seems to be a valid support to be more active. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a period of outdoor training (Nordic walking (NW)) with indoor resistance training (GYM) in a nonclinical population based on anthropometric characteristics, body composition, and functional parameters. This study was conducted on 102 participants (77 middle-aged people performed NW and 25 performed indoor training). Participants were measured twice: at baseline and after three months. Anthropometric measurements (weight, BMI, skinfolds, perimeters), body composition, bioelectrical impedance, vectorial analysis (BIA and BIVA), and physical tests were carried out. A two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to evaluate the effect of the treatments, groups, and sexes. There were several intervention effects linked to a decrease in fat parameters (such as skinfolds, fat mass, and percentage of fat mass). Considering the type of intervention, NW showed a higher increase in muscle mass and a higher decrease in fat parameters than the GYM group. In conclusion, the two types of training could represent a good way to remain active and prevent sedentary behaviors.
人群中的久坐行为正在增加，因此需要采取策略来提高身体活动水平。利用绿地似乎是增加活动量的有效支持。本研究旨在根据人体测量特征、身体成分和功能参数，比较非临床人群中一段户外训练（越野行走（NW））与室内阻力训练（健身房训练（GYM））的效果。本研究对102名参与者进行（77名中年人进行越野行走，25名进行室内训练）。参与者在基线和三个月后各测量一次。进行了人体测量（体重、体重指数、皮褶厚度、周长）、身体成分、生物电阻抗、矢量分析（生物电阻抗分析和生物电阻抗矢量分析）以及体能测试。采用双向重复测量方差分析（ANOVA）来评估治疗、组别和性别的影响。有几种干预效果与脂肪参数的降低有关（如皮褶厚度、脂肪量和脂肪量百分比）。考虑到干预类型，越野行走组比健身房训练组的肌肉量增加更多，脂肪参数降低更多。总之，这两种训练方式可能是保持活跃和预防久坐行为的好方法。
