Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Internet- and website-based interventions are increasingly utilized for promoting physical activity in adults.
  • A significant body of research exists, necessitating a comprehensive review to synthesize findings and identify trends.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review Internet- and website-based physical activity interventions targeting adult populations.
  • To analyze the characteristics, methodologies, and outcomes of these digital health interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search identified 72 unique Internet-based physical activity interventions published in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Study designs included randomized controlled trials, randomized trials without control, non-randomized controlled trials, and single-group designs.
  • Intervention durations varied, with a median of 12 weeks; outcome assessments were primarily immediate post-intervention, with some delayed follow-ups.

Main Results:

  • Sixty-one percent (61.1%) of the reviewed interventions reported significant increases in physical activity levels among participants.
  • The majority of participants were White, middle-aged, and female.
  • Common intervention durations were 12 weeks, with most studies assessing outcomes immediately post-intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Internet-based physical activity interventions are effective in promoting physical activity in adults.
  • Future research should prioritize inclusivity by increasing the representation of minority and male populations.
  • Incorporating emerging technologies like mobile phones and smartphones, alongside delayed follow-up assessments, is crucial for advancing digital health interventions.
