- Abstract
The article discusses the potential of hiking as a means to promote equity in physical activity engagement across diverse populations. It highlights the barriers that underserved populations face in accessing physical activity opportunities and emphasizes the need for affordable and accessible options. The authors argue that hiking, as a form of "green exercise," can provide numerous health benefits and address some of the barriers to physical activity. They suggest that with support from local municipalities and health providers, it is feasible to provide equitable opportunities for individuals to engage in hiking and receive its health-promoting benefits.
