Health benefits of green spaces in the living environment: A systematic review of epidemiological studies (2015, methodology): “Therefore, a “best evidence synthesis” was used for synthesizing the strength of the evidence evidence (Ariëns et al., 2000; Singh et al., 2012; Wendel-Vos et al., 2007).”
Characteristics of urban parks associated with park use and physical activity: a review of qualitative research. (2010, background): “Recent literature reviews on urban form and physical activity – including reviews of studies examining associations between parks and physical activity (Kaczynski and Henderson, 2007) – deliberately exclude qualitative findings (Humpel et al., 2002; Saelens and Handy, 2008; McCormack et al., 2004; W”
Systematic literature review of built environment effects on physical activity and active transport – an update and new findings on health equity (2017, background): “Notwithstanding frequent calls for research to understand causality [19, 21, 28, 39], until recently, the evidence base has remained predominantly cross-sectional.”
Promoting walking and bicycling: assessing the evidence to assist planners (2010, background): “Others, generally from public health, deal with walking as part of a broader concern with physical activity (Humpel et al., 2002; Trost et al., 2002; Handy, 2004; Davison and Lawson, 2006; Heath et al., 2006; Ferreira et al., 2007; Gebel et al., 2007; Wendel-Vos et al., 2007).”
Measuring the food environment using geographical information systems: a methodological review (2010, methodology): “In public health, examples of the use of GIS methods include the analysis of disparities in access to healthcare((17)) and, more recently, the association between built environment and physical activity((6,18)).”
In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults (2011, background): “In addition, environmental attributes that are modified are often those that are only modestly or inconsistently associated with physical activity [8,10,24,25].”
Validation of Accelerometer Wear and Nonwear Time Classification Algorithm (2011, background): “A sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical activity (PA) are major causes of obesity and related health risk factors in children, adolescents, and adults (16, 29, 34).”
