The benefits of nature for human wellbeing have been scientifically studied in multiple disciplines for over three decades. Researchers from disciplines such as ecology, sport science, psychology, tourism, medicine, forestry, environmental studies and architecture have found evidence that being in nature, interacting with nature, and feeling connected to nature are important for good health and wellbeing. In particular, physical activity in nature has been linked to wellbeing. This manuscript explores a particular type of physical activity in nature: adventure and outdoor activity. Adventure in nature is important for wellbeing, and carefully designed interventions and programs can have a profound impact. The work in this book suggests that adventure should be considered an important part of the public health offering.Lifestyle, sport & leisurebicsscphysical educationnational curriculummilitary personnelpsychological wellbeingoutdoor adventure activitiesmental healthresiliencemental health problemshigher educationoutdoor adventuremulti-variate quantitative analysesactive components of positive changeschool childrentransitionsprimary and secondary schoolnaturetailored outdoor education programmingindividualityadaptable productive functioninggreen spaceshealth and psychological well-beingself-determinationadventurearmed forcesphysical activityrecoverysoldiersNature-based health interventionsgreen prescriptionswilderness therapyforest schoolsgreen exerciseadherencecompliancehealthoutdoor and adventure activitiesoutdoor therapyphenomenologytherapeutic processembodimentlived-experienceslow adventuretimeslownesswellbeingcognitive dissonancestrategies of dissonance reductioncharacteristics of dissonance arousal and modes of reductionconsonant cognitionsattitude and behaviour changeautophenomenologyadventure education programmingEcological Dynamicsadventure educationrepresentative designoutdoor and adventure sportsLifestyle, sport & leisureBrymer Ericedt1287630Allan JohnedtHardwell AshleyedtPeacock SuzanneedtHart MelissaedtKay ChrisedtDillon MichelleedtBrymer EricothAllan JohnothHardwell AshleyothPeacock SuzanneothHart MelissaothKay ChrisothDillon MichelleothBOOK9910557333103321Health and Wellbeing in an Outdoor and Adventure Sports Context3038149UNINA
