Resumen
It has been found that the restorative environment literature heavily focused on the relationship between experiencing open spaces and psychological health. Yet, the effect of open spaces on physiological health and well-being did not receive similar attention. This highlights the need for strategies that involve open spaces as a means to control the prevalence of obesity and improve the human physiological health and well-being. This study examines the restorative effects of open spaces on physiological health of obese adults in the city of Yanbu Alsenayah, which is a well-designed city in Saudi Arabia.eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.
