Parempaa Terveyttä ja Suorituskykyä Luonnosta!
Tutkimukset osoittavat, että luonnossa oleilu parantaa ihmisen tarkkaavaisuusuutta ja keskittymiskykyä sekä vähentää koettua stressiä. EcoTraining on yhdistelmä fyysisiä ja psyykkisiä luonnossa suoritettavia aktiviteetteja, joiden avulla pyritään optimoimaan luonnon terveysvaikutuksia.
Ohjelmat on suunniteltu hyödyntämään ja vahvistamaan liikunnan, elvyttävän luontoympäristön sekä eri aistien vuorovaikutusta. Tavoitteena on oppia hyödyntämään luontoa hyvinvoinnin edistämisessä ja tätä kautta oppia käyttämään EcoTraining -elementtejä elämän laadun parantamiseen.
