What is the impact of environmental factors on physical activity? 🔊
Environmental factors, including access to parks, sidewalks, and safe neighborhoods, greatly influence physical activity levels. Urban design that encourages active transportation, along with weather and climate, also affects how and when people engage in physical activities. Socioeconomic status can limit resources available for activities, such as gym access or safe spaces to exercise. Promoting better environments can increase participation in physical activities and enhance public health.
