Flowers, Trees, Water Seven participants in this study photographed their health, nutrition, and exercise experiences and reported them for group discussion and research on topics and trends.
A detailed study in the United States also shows that although young people spend more time on technology than nature, they value nature and need more opportunities to do so.
Nature and the environment were not part of the research focus, but it was important to stay outside. Many girls and young women have shared images of natural elements such as flowers, trees and water.
Interestingly, there is evidence that there are barriers to women's experience of nature. Gender expectations, safety fears, laziness, and vulnerability force girls and girls to negotiate these feelings in order to engage in outdoor recreation.
Although the benefits of physical activity for physical and mental health are important, half of the population is unaware of it. The search begins with a quest for gender and freedom, the amazing importance of nature for women.
However, much remains to be done to see how these results can support gender equality. Nature's role in health promotion is a new direction for research and the goal of an upcoming meeting of the International Federation of Health Education. Is nature the key to promoting physical activity in girls and women? More research is needed to reliably find it, but it certainly shows high expectations.
