The latest issue of Health and Place include a review of qualitative research on physical activity in urban parks. As its authors suggest, this kind of data has been excluded from recent analysis, but may help to inform design or evaluation of interventions to increase physical exercise in an urban setting. Earlier this month, a team from the University of Essex published a meta-analysis of green exercise studies from the UK, looking for "the Best Dose of Nature and Green Exercise for Improving Mental Health." The study was widely reported in the press and is thus itself the subject of appraisal on the NHS Choices Behind the Headlines column.
