Adaptive Effects of Seeing Green Environment on Psychophysiological Parameters When Walking or Running by Walid Briki (688845)

“…Study 2 showed that running in a green environment was associated with an increased level of perceived exertion at similar speeds (compared to other color conditions), while exposure to red induced a significant decrease in the level of tension. In both studies, the preferred gait speed was not affected by the colored environment which is discussed in relation to the energy-conservation principle. …”
