Neighborhoods play key role in how much people exercise, study says
Date:3/17/2008

cise.

Other studies have found that exercise levels can be increased by improving the physical components of a neighborhood such as creating high-quality parks, sidewalks and recreation centers. But Browning said this study shows that the social environment in a neighborhood needs to be considered along with the physical environment.

We dont know the relative role of the physical and social environments of a neighborhood, Browning said. However, it seems likely that they are constantly reinforcing and reacting to one another. When there is high poverty and low levels of trust in a community, it is harder to mobilize people to achieve neighborhood goals, such as improving parks and cleaning up streets.
