摘要：

Intrapersonal and environmental factors associated with dog walking (N = 483) were examined. A greater proportion of regular (80%) than irregular (59%)dog walkers met the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week. Owners who perceived greater social support and motivation from their dog to walk, and who had access to a dog-supportive park within their neighborhood, were more likely to regularly walk with their dog, even after adjustment for other well-known correlates of physical activity. The higher level of physical activity of regular dog walkers can be attributed to the additional walking these owners perform with their dog.
