Associations between physical activity and characteristics of urban green space

Theories of physical activity behaviour change: A history and synthesis of approaches
TL;DR: A narrative historical overview of four key theoretical frameworks applied to understand physical activity over the last three decades is provided and several newer applications of integrated models and dynamic models that may serve to improve the understanding and promotion of physical activity in developed countries over the next decade are highlighted.

TL;DR: The main results showed that the presence of at least two recreational destinations within a 500-m buffer of participants’ homes were associated with an increased odds of LTW compared with no destinations present, and could be used to highlight the importance access to a mix of public open spaces to promote physical activity in megacities of middle-income countries.
