“…The data suggest that obesity falls on a continuum that is mechanistically associated with diminished ambulation. There has been much written about the link between progressive urbanization, mechanization, and obesity (22)(23)(24), and implicit in these analyses is the idea that obesity and general levels of inactivity and walking (25) concur. However, the direct link between obesity and free-living walking is lacking generally because of the difficulty in gathering data on free-living walking in lean and obese subjects and because of the difficulty in gaining such information with experimental weight gain.…”

“…Entre los beneficios sociales, los parques públicos contribuyen a la salud de las poblaciones por el hecho de que pueden influir en la actividad física de los individuos (Ward, 2013;Dai, 2011;Witten et al, 2008;Pikora et al, 2003;Lopez-Zetina et al, 2006). Vivir en lugares con espacios abiertos, áreas verdes y ambientes naturales aumenta la motivación de la gente por emplear su tiempo libre fuera de casa en actividades físicamente activas, tales como caminar, correr y andar en bicicleta (De Vries et al, 2003;Witten et al, 2008;Lopez-Zetina et al, 2006;Diez et al, 2007).…”

Las actividades físicas tienen un impacto positivo en la salud porque reducen las enfermedades cardiovasculares, la diabetes y la obesidad; estos males han sido asociados a comportamientos sedentarios (Witten et al, 2008;Lopez-Zetina et al, 2006). Entre mayor es la cantidad y más equilibrada la distribución de espacios públicos abiertos se registran mayores niveles de actividad física (Diez et al, 2007;Parks et al, 2003;Neuvonen et al, 2007).…”

“…Výzkumy se orientují jak na objasňování tohoto vztahu v pozitivním směru (aktivizující prostředí vs. nárůst pohybové aktivity; Stronegger, Titze, & Oja, 2010;Sugiyama, Leslie, Giles-Corti, & Owen, 2009;Tucker et al, 2009), tak na směr negativní (např. urbanistický design vedoucí ke zvyšování závislosti na motorizovaném transportu nebo obecněji "obezitogenní" prostředí vs. pokles pohybové aktivity; Dengel, Hearst, Harmon, Forsyth, & Lytle, 2009;Lopez-Zetina, Lee, & Friis, 2006;Nelson & Woods, 2009). Na druhou stranu je třeba uvést i studie, které vztah mezi fyzickým/zastavěným prostředím (resp.…”
