Outdoor sport and physical exercise have had considerable impact on how we design, live in, and understand landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLandscapes and environments have, in turn, contributed to the formation and development of new sport activities as well as cultures of movement and the body.
