Impact of ambient air pollution on physical activity engagement among university students
University students showed increased physical activity intensity during high PM2.5 periods, favoring indoor exercise in polluted environments. This behavioral shift highlights environmental pollution's influence on lifestyle choices and cornering on health outcomes. Government and university support is crucial for implementing measures to mitigate PM2.5 pollution, including promoting safe indoor exercise, enhancing pollution control measures, and developing air quality monitoring and warning systems.
