Measuring Movement in Green Contexts: Integrating Digital Tools into the 24-hour Movement Behavior Framework 1: Lebanese American University, Lebanon (Lebanese Republic); 2: International Medical Faculty, Osh State University, Osh City, Kyrgyzstan; 3: International Medical Faculty, Osh State University, Osh City, Kyrgyzstan Background: Green urban environments under the patronage of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly overlooked to promote a better well-being amongst individuals. Although there is increased literature in studying its contribution to health-enhancing physical activity, evidence in studying its interaction with twenty four-hour movement behavior (sleep, sedentary behavior, and physical activity) is still lacking. Objective: This study aims to explore the possible associations between green urban spaces and 24-hrs movement activity through applying digital monitoring to measure movement behavior. Methods: A systematic scoping review was conducted to examine how digital monitoring tools measure movement behaviors—physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep—in the context of urban green spaces. Literature was searched across databases such as PubMed using keywords including urban green spaces, digital monitoring, wearable technology, accelerometers, mobile health, and 24-hour movement behaviors. Eligible studies encompassed observational, experimental, and review designs focusing on digital technologies applied to these outcomes. After removing 17 duplicates, 53 articles were screened against predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 22 studies retained for final analysis. Implications: This study explores the relevance of considering urban context in research on associations between urban features and 24-hour movement through digital monitoring. This raises the potential of positive use of technology to better optimize and position urban planning with health-promotion and equity-focused HEPA decisions. | |
