Group green exercise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Group Green Exercise refers to physical exercise undertaken in natural environments carried out as a group.[1] Physical exercise has positive outcomes for both physical and mental health.[2] There is growing evidence confirming the benefits to be had from contact with nature.[3] The work of Prof. Jules Pretty at the University of Essex has revealed the synergistic benefits of combining the two in green exercise.[4] New research, by Auckland University of Technology, is now investigating the additional social, physical and mental health benefits of Group Green Exercise.[citation needed]
