Study on Optimization of Outdoor Fitness Venue for Elderly People's Physical Activity Promotion from the Perspective of"Benefit+Performance"Evaluation:A Case Study of Chengdu Old City
Against the backdrop of an increasingly aging population,building high-quality outdoor fitness spaces to promote physical activity among the elderly and improve their physical health is an efficient and cost-effective approach to healthy aging.Using 18 outdoor fitness spaces in the five old districts of Chengdu as examples,this article analyzes the relationship between elderly physical activity and built environment factors.It applies a clustering algorithm to categorize common outdoor fitness spaces into four types:independent functional linear activity spaces,independent functional area-based spaces,multifunctional area-based spaces,and large comprehensive functional spaces.By comparing the differences in the physical activity benefits and performance of the elderly across these space types,the article summarizes optimization design strategies for the built environment of different types of fitness spaces,providing insights for the refined construction of outdoor fitness areas.
