Research study: What does outdoor exercise do for you?

Do you find that doing physical activity and exercise in or near green spaces (e.g. forests, parks) and blue spaces (e.g. lakes, sea, rivers), helps your wellbeing and mental health?

This study aimed to understand more about whether outdoor exercise can help people with mental ill-health and whether different environments increase engagement in exercise.

The project is now complete and awaiting publication.
