There is an urgent need for strategies that increase both uptake and long-term adherence. The Environmental Mismatch Hypothesis proposes that natural environments may increase both engagement and performance of PA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forty-seven healthy adults (16 females) completed a randomized, counterbalanced crossover trial. Participants undertook a 30-min self-paced run in both a forest and an urban environment at a prescribed exertion level (rate of perceived exertion\u2009=\u20094\/10). Performance (distance run, heart rate) and markers of intention to perform future PA (enjoyment, mood, short-, and long-term intention) were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants covered significantly greater distance in the forest condition (P\u2009=\u2009.036, Cohen\u2019s dz\u2009=\u20090.2) with heart rate and rate of perceived exertion comparable to the urban setting. Forest-based exercise also elicited significantly greater enjoyment (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001, dz\u2009=\u20091.3), improved post-exercise mood (P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001, dz\u2009=\u20090.7) and far greater intention to engage in future PA (short-term dz\u2009=\u20092.1; long-term dz\u2009=\u20092.0; both P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Forest-based running was associated with improved performance, enjoyment, mood, and motivation for future PA, relative to urban running, without an increase in physiological strain. These findings reveal that natural environments offer a promising and scalable approach to addressing physical inactivity and improving population health. Further research is required to determine the environmental drivers, the feasibility, accessibility, and long-term effects across diverse and inactive populations.<\/jats:p>\n
