Summary

This study looks at whether being active outdoors is better for your thinking, mood, and stress than exercising indoors. Researchers will compare four groups: walking outdoors, sitting outdoors, walking on a treadmill indoors, and a group that does nothing special. The goal is to see how each activity affects attention, memory, stress hormones, and blood pressure in 60 healthy adults.
