Calls to action addressing the interconnections between physical (in)activity and the climate crisis are increasing. The current study aimed to investigate public support for policy actions that potentially have co-benefits for physical activity promotion and climate change mitigation.
In 2023, a survey through the Angus Reid Forum was completed by 2507 adults living in Canada. Binary logistic regressions were conducted. Separate models were created to reflect support or opposition to the 8 included policy items. Several covariates were included in the models including age, gender, political orientation, physical activity levels, income, urbanicity climate anxiety, and attitudes surrounding physical activity and climate change. The data were weighted to reflect the gender, age, and regional composition of the country.
Most individuals living in Canada strongly or moderately supported all actions (ranging from 71% to 85%). Meeting the physical activity guidelines, higher self-reported income, and scoring high on personal experience of climate change were associated with higher odds of supporting the policy actions related to climate actions.
Most adults living in Canada support policies that align with the recommended policy actions related to physical activity and climate change. National campaigns enhancing awareness and understanding of the bidirectional relationship between physical activity and climate change are warranted, and these should consider the consistent demographic differences (eg, gender, age, and political orientation) seen in public support for physical activity-related policies.
针对身体活动（不活动）与气候危机之间相互联系的行动呼吁日益增多。本研究旨在调查公众对可能对促进身体活动和缓解气候变化具有共同益处的政策行动的支持情况。
2023年，居住在加拿大的2507名成年人通过安格斯·里德论坛完成了一项调查。进行了二元逻辑回归分析。创建了单独的模型以反映对纳入的8项政策项目的支持或反对情况。模型中纳入了几个协变量，包括年龄、性别、政治倾向、身体活动水平、收入、城市化程度、气候焦虑以及围绕身体活动和气候变化的态度。对数据进行加权以反映该国的性别、年龄和地区构成。
大多数居住在加拿大的个人强烈或中度支持所有行动（支持率从71%到85%不等）。符合身体活动指南、自我报告收入较高以及在气候变化个人体验方面得分较高，与支持与气候行动相关的政策行动的几率较高有关。
大多数居住在加拿大的成年人支持与身体活动和气候变化相关的推荐政策行动相一致的政策。有必要开展全国性运动，提高对身体活动与气候变化之间双向关系的认识和理解，并且这些运动应考虑在公众对与身体活动相关政策的支持中所看到的一致的人口统计学差异（例如性别、年龄和政治倾向）。
