This literature review describes the physiological and psychological effects of labyrinth walking and and addresses three research questions. First, how is labyrinth walking defined, and what are its key features? Second, what is the focus of the literature about labyrinth walking? Third, what are the physiological and psychological effects of labyrinth walking? The literature review finds that the literature about labyrinth walking focuses minimally on the physiological effects and almost exclusively on the psychological effects. Two qualitative questions that should be answered by future studies are why people enjoy labyrinth walking and whether the labyrinth walking motivates people to achieve higher levels of physical activity.
