Designing environments to enhance physical and psychological benefits of physical activity: A multi-disciplinary perspective
Concerns over public health issues related to physical inactivity may be addressed by designing environments that provide opportunities for different population groups to enhance physical activity levels and gain the health and wellbeing benefits of physical activity. This multidisciplinary themed issue includes theoretical perspectives outlining key principles for designing environments that promote physical activity, as well as more practical perspectives demonstrating the application of these design principles. The intended outcome is for scientists, designers and healthcare practitioners to collaboratively consider how societies can move beyond the mere provision of information on health benefits of physical activity and exercise towards a more detailed understanding of how to design everyday environments that promote and invite physical activity in different population groups.
