PY - 2014 DA - 2014/08/20 TI - How might we increase physical activity through dog walking?: A comprehensive review of dog walking correlates JO - International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity SP - 83 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are major threats to population health. A considerable proportion of people own dogs, and there is good evidence that dog ownership is associated with higher levels of physical activity. However not all owners walk their dogs regularly. This paper comprehensively reviews the evidence for correlates of dog walking so that effective interventions may be designed to increase the physical activity of dog owners.
