Contents of the study
Many studies have shown that visiting green spaces and being exposed to the natural environment can reduce psychological stress.
Many questions remain about the impact of the natural environment on stress levels.
"Are activities that engage in the natural environment more or less beneficial in reducing stress than activities that take place in a more urban setting?
This study examined this question in terms of "levels of nature.
Data on stress levels were collected from three different environments.
One is a wilderness-like feature.
The second is a city park
The third is an urban built environment (indoor exercise facility)
Data were generated using biophysical markers (cortisol and amylase) and psychological measures in pre- and post-visit formats.
The results suggest that visiting natural environments may be beneficial in reducing both physical and psychological stress levels.

This seems to have been the environment setting, but there is not that much significant difference in any environment.
It has to be a mountain! or a natural river! So, it is good for people living in urban areas to relieve stress in a well maintained park.
