Th is study aimed to explore whether a six-week intervention, based on participation in outdoor exercise, including activity-tracking devices and combined with individual consulting sessions, can both increase physical activity and yield positive changes in physiological and psychological health measures. A total of six participants, with a mean age of 41.2 (range 33-50 years), completed the ten-week study and the six-week intervention. Th e full study consisted of a four-week control/baseline and a six-week intervention period in which each participant acted as their own controls. Continuous measures of physical activity data were collected using a wrist-worn activity sensor during the ten-week study, along with preand post-measures of cardiovascular fi tness, upper-body strength, BMI, general health, and motivation to exercise. Th e intervention consisted of a resistance-training programme for an outdoor gym and three motivational interviewing sessions. Eff ect sizes (percentage) for changes preto post-training were calculated. Th e results, because of the small sample size, are presented as individual cases, but the group, as a whole, showed average increases from baseline (pre-) to post-measures in strength (maximum row; 15.33%), time to exhaustion (3.58%), number of steps per day (4%), and autonomous motivation (12%) and average decreases in body weight (-1.08%), fat percentage (-7.58%), strength (chest; -2.5%), and stress symptoms (-2.17%). Th e six-week intervention programme showed promising results regarding physical activity changes. Th is study contributes to the limited evidence of the impact of resistance training programmes using outdoor gyms, electronic tracker, and motivational interviewing on physical activity outcomes.

新鲜空气中的连接:参加电子跟踪户外健身运动计划的好处的研究

本研究旨在探讨基于参与户外锻炼(包括活动跟踪设备)并与个人咨询会结合进行的为期六周的干预措施是否可以增加身体活动并在生理和心理健康措施方面产生积极变化。共有6位参与者(平均年龄41.2(33-50岁))完成了为期10周的研究和为期6周的干预。完整的研究包括一个为期四周的对照/基线和一个为期六周的干预期,其中每个参与者都充当自己的对照。在为期十周的研究期间,使用腕戴式活动传感器收集了身体活动数据的连续量度,以及心血管健康,上身力量,BMI,总体健康状况和运动动机的前后测量值。干预包括一个针对室外体育馆的抵抗训练计划和三个动机性面试环节。计算出训练前后变化的影响大小(百分比)。由于样本量小,结果以个别情况呈现,但该组整体上显示从基线(测量前)到测量后的强度(最大行; 15.33%),到体力消耗(3.58%),每天步数(4%)和自主动机(12%)以及体重平均下降(-1.08%),脂肪百分比(-7.58%),力量(胸部; -2.5%) )和压力症状(-2.17%)。为期六周的干预计划显示了有关体育锻炼变化的令人鼓舞的结果。该研究为使用户外运动进行抵抗训练的影响提供了有限的证据,
