This unit will introduce you to the multitude of factors in the built environment that play a role in physical activity behavior. The environments in which we live work and play have varying levels of support for physical activity. This unit will help you to understand both barriers and facilitators to physical activity participation within the built environment and think about how we can have a positive impact on the spaces in which we commonly spend time.

Discuss:

1. The article "The Role of the Built Environments in Physical Activity, Obesity, and CVD" presents as ecological model of four domains of physical activity. The push is to create multi-level, multi-sector approaches to physical activity promotion. Describe a physical activity intervention/program you are aware of. Describe it and then share what domains, levels, and sectors of the ecological model it reached and which it didn't reach. Is there evidence to show this intervention/program was successful/unsuccessful? What do you know about its effectiveness? Are there things that you believe would improve it and help it be more impactful? Describe, support, and discuss.

2. In the Robert Wood Johnson Research Brief on Physical Activity and the Built Environment, it discusses how car-reliance has increased and individuals walking to work has decreased. Find information to support why this shift has occurred and if there are successful approaches out there to increase active transportation. Pretend you were just hired by the SDSU wellness center to increase active transportation within the SDSU community. Based on the research you found on the topic, what would we need to do in the SDSU campus community to decrease the number of students who drive to class and increase the number who walk/ride a bike to class?
