Abstract in brief

  • The study explores how different features of urban green spaces (like trees, lawns, sports facilities, and furniture) are linked to physical activity, health, and BMI in adolescents aged 13-19 in Aydın, Turkey, finding that features like trees, lawns, and sports courts promote more exercise and better health.
  • It also shows that increased distance from green spaces leads to less frequent exercise, and there are notable differences between boys and girls in how specific features (such as soccer fields or exercise trails) relate to their physical activity and health outcomes.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that enhancing green space features—like adding sports facilities, outdoor fitness equipment, and natural areas—can encourage adolescents to exercise more and improve their overall health.]
