A review and future research framework on association between blue space and physical activity

  • Blue space is an important place for physical activity and provides physical and mental health benefits to residents. However, little is known about the mechanism of association between blue space and physical activity. Based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science Core Collection, the Chinese and English literature on the correlation between blue space and physical activity were selected and analyzed. The research field has the following characteristics so far: there are few studies on blue space in inland cities, developing countries, and vulnerable populations, and it is an emerging research field. Most included studies demonstrate positive effects of blue space exposure on physical activity, while studies conducted in different populations demonstrate population differences. The combination of multi-source data and multidisciplinary approaches should be an important foundation of this research field. Based on this, a research framework was proposed in this paper to analyze the complex association between them from a perspective of multi-dimensional characteristics, and blue physical activity was modeled as ecosystem services to explore the relationship between blue space and physical activity from a perspective of ecosystem service supply-demand and flow.
