Las intervenciones asistidas con animales (IAA), en sus diferentes formas, han mostrado beneficios en las personas a diferentes niveles. En España, profesionales de diferentes ámbitos llevan a cabo este tipo de intervenciones, destacando la ausencia de profesionales de las ciencias del deporte (CAFYD). Este artículo tiene como objetivo valorar la pertinencia del profesional de CAFYD en las IAA, y más concretamente, dentro de las actividades físicas en la naturaleza. La metodología se ha centrado en la realización de una revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre sus beneficios en la condición física. Posteriormente se realizado un análisis crítico sobre la relación entre las IAA y las CAFYD, para posteriormente desarrollar la posible inclusión de las IAA como actividades físicas en el medio natural, de acuerdo con las diferentes clasificaciones existentes y atendiendo a las características propias de este tipo de actividades. Los resultados de la revisión de revisiones mostraron que las IAA tienen numerosos beneficios a nivel físico (equilibrio, movilidad o marcha), lo cual estaría relacionado con el componente motriz de las IAA y justificaría la presencia de profesionales en CAFYD. Además, la interacción humano-animal podría relacionarse también con los beneficios descritos mediante el concepto de biofilia, presente en las actividades físicas en la naturaleza

“…Diversifying the activities to areas that might also improve one's physical fitness: horticulture, animal husbandry, hiking, downhill skateboarding etc. (Pretty et al, 2007) The concept in its current state then promotes both the physical and mental benefits of outdoor exercise (Lister et al, 2017), and has come to be associated with the more generic term Green Space. Its sister concept, the Blue Gym, is simply the same concept applied to different types of marine environments (White et al, 2016).…”

Public Health and Well-being Innovation in the Natural Environment Sector: Lessons from the UK and Finland

Thirty-one ethnographic interviews were conducted with health and well-being sector businesses to examine the dynamics of innovation in the UK (Cornwall) and across Finland. The Nordic countries are at the leading edge of these types of public health nature-based interventions, consequently, Finland was chosen as a comparator to the UK. We found that the construction of natural environment based services for health and well-being follows a five-step model: (1) Services are specifically designed for individuals' needs; (2) These services are based around routine behaviours of that individual and their personal and social habits; (3) This creates a process of normalisation that relates to former states of health prior to being ill; (4) These routines generally function at a habitual level if they are to be of use on a daily basis (we are not conscious of all of our actions all the time); and (5) nature is used to embed these new routines because it allows access to the latent forms of thought, not ones that require direct conscious learning. We found this emergent process closely resembles Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus. A number of health and well-being businesses have moved towards mixed models of service provision-combining profit-making activities in the tourism and leisure markets with care services to create a sustainable service model in response to increasing pressures on funding sources. However, more still needs to be done in terms of training for public health and well-being businesses if this service model is to become financially sustainable for all.

Previous research has shown individuals living with type 2 diabetes are more likely to experience depression, anxiety and reduced quality of life (QoL) in comparison to those without the disease. Physical activity has been highlighted as an important factor in improving physiological and psychological parameters in this population. Previous systematic reviews have found mixed results regarding the effects of exercise on psychological problems. Green exercise is an emerging research area with mounting evidence demonstrating positive effects on mental health. Objectives of the current review investigated whether conducting physical activity in outdoor environments had any effect on psychological problems in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods such as PubMed, Medline, PsycINFO, Scopus, Cochrane library, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar databases were searched. The databases were searched for articles which used an outdoor exercise intervention and investigated psychological problems in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Results from the 1467 retrieved articles, 4 studies were included in the systematic review, consisting of 231 participants. All four studies investigated QoL, one study looked at depression and one investigated general wellbeing. Mixed results were found regarding QoL, no significant effect was found for depression. However, general wellbeing was improved. Due to the limited number of studies eligible for inclusion and the heterogeneity of outcome measures, it was difficult to draw firm conclusions. This systematic review acts as a starting point for future investigations into the use of green exercise in improving the mental health of individuals living with type 2 diabetes.
