Blue-green Space Physical Activity: the "Parco Del Mare" Study

This study protocol, describe the innovative study intervention which will be performed in a green-blue space in Italy in order to investigate on the improvements in wellbeing following participation in the study. This will be significant because it will provide evidence on the effectiveness of the supervised physical activities carried out in green-blue space in improving health, quality of life, physical performance, anthropometric outcomes and physiological parameters in adults, indicating the reasonableness for public health authorities to developing such activities.

About this study

The aim of the "Parco del Mare" pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and the effects of a moderate-intensity exercise program carried out in a green-blue space, on health outcomes such as quality of life and physical performance. Healthy adults with no contraindication to practice physical activity will be recruited and divided into two groups: the experimental group involved in the exercise sessions performed twice a week for 6-months, while the control group received no intervention. Validated tests and questionnaires will be used to detect health parameters at baseline (T0) and follow-up (T1). The investigators expected the intervention carried out in the Parco del Mare setting to be feasible and effective in improving health parameters, quality of life and physical performance in healthy adults.
