Summary
Digital health interventions (DHIs) show promise in boosting adolescent physical activity. This review synthesizes diverse DHIs and study designs, finding they generally enhance activity levels, though effectiveness varies.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Digital Health
- Adolescent Health
Background:
- Adolescent physical inactivity is a global health concern.
- Digital health interventions (DHIs) are increasingly explored for promoting adolescent physical activity.
- Existing reviews often lack integration of diverse DHIs and study designs.
Conclusions:
- DHIs generally enhance adolescent physical activity, but effectiveness varies by intervention type and study design.
- This review provides a comprehensive perspective, highlighting the need for adaptable interventions and considering implementation context.
- Findings inform practical applications, policy development, and future research directions for equitable DHI promotion.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
