Motives for and barriers to the use of public space among teenage girls
Numerous studies underscore the significant role of the outdoor environment in promoting physical and mental health, but at the same time research has shown that teenage girls are less active compared to boys.

This scoping review examined the relationship between the physical environment and the barriers to and the motives for using the public space. In this review, we def…
Participation in street sports - a national study of participation patterns among youth and adults
During the last 10–20 years, attention towards street sports has been growing internationally and in Denmark.

The practitioners use t…
