fitness, promoting health and fitness as it relates
to human health is vast and growing. To help policymakers take new and emerging
findings into account when designing recreation and park services and
initiatives for the 21st century, this paper summarizes the salient issues and
identifies research gaps. It considers how being outside in natural
surroundings may improve health and how outdoor physical activities benefit
participants. Particular attention is given to children’s health problems that
can be mitigated through outdoor play, sports, and nature study. The paper
describes approaches to measuring physical activity and recent trends in park
visitation and outdoor activity participation. It looks at variables that
affect participation in outdoor activities and considers the projected
demographic changes that will affect policymaking in this arena. The findings
of this literature review point to potential new directions for outdoor
recreation policy, as well as new policy questions to be explored.
