Scoping review maps digital interventions promoting physical activity in adults, suggesting further tailored strategies are needed.
Key Points
This review aims to summarize recent literature on technology-based interventions promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behaviour in adults.
Conducted a scoping review according to PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Performed a literature search in PubMed and Scopus for studies published in English from 2022 to 2026.
Included 35 studies after screening and assessing full texts against eligibility criteria.
35 studies identified included four intervention categories: wearable devices, adaptive interventions, advanced technologies, and hybrid models.
Technology-based interventions linked to increased step count and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
Effectiveness in reducing sedentary behaviour was inconsistent, showing dependence on context-sensitive strategies.
