Evidence-Based Decision Making When Designing Environments for Physical Activity: The Role of Public Health (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). The important role that the environment plays in health and well-being is widely accepted, as is the impact that the built and natural environment can have on levels of physical activity. As levels of physical activity are a ke... Read More about Evidence-Based Decision Making When Designing Environments for Physical Activity: The Role of Public Health.
