New Zealand health professionals prescribing parkrun to get the country moving
A survey of almost 600 New Zealand-based health professionals has revealed the extent to which patients are being signposted to parkrun events around the country, as an alternative or to complement conventional medical treatment.
Research and impact of parkrun
A team of academics from the University of Sydney's School of Public Health reviewed 15 existing studies into parkrun that analysed parkrun and parkrunners, including around the health and wellbeing impact of participation in these events.
parkrun participants showed overall improvements in, among other things, fitness, total physical activity, and mood.
