Geography Compass published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. abstract: As part of an argument about the value of a geographical approach to the connection between local weather and physical exercise, this paper begins with how that connection features in four areas of scholarship that have been at the forefront of exploring it so far. By comparing how each of them commonly imagines ‘the human’ and ‘the weather’ in their studies, we particularly highlight how different bodies of work illuminate different facets of the weather-exercise connection. This, we suggest, represents an opportunity for geographers to explore how these facets combine in context with a view to tackling the complex public health challenges associated with increasing human inactivity and a warming world. Building on that, we end with three promising cross-cutting themes that we think could usefully guide these endeavours: adaptation, decision-making and place. date: 2023-03-27 date_type: published publisher: WILEY official_url: https://compass.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gec3.12686 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2014552 doi: 10.1111/gec3.12686 lyricists_name: Hitchings, Russell lyricists_id: RSHIT78 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: ES/P000592/1 [ESRC] full_text_status: public publication: Geography Compass article_number: e12686 pages: 13 issn: 1749-8198 citation: Hodgson, Antonia; Hitchings, Russell; (2023) Weather and exercise: A comparative review and the role of geographers.
