Background:
Very few effective physical activity interventions are magnificently translated. However, rare interventions have successfully scaled up and sustained to achieve large-scale physical activity promotion.
Aim:
The study aimed to determine the contextual elements and variables that support physical activity interventions for successful scaled-up and sustained implementation.
Methods:
The following study employed a scoping review to evaluate the current state of physical activity interventions. The search strategy depended on three electronic databases (EMBASE, PubMed and ScienceDirect). Considering the inclusion criteria, published articles between 2015 and 2025 were included in this review.
Results:
Fifteen articles, eight randomized control trials, a single study of perspective, longitudinal research, in-depth interviews, quasi-mixed methods approach, intervention program, pilot assessment, and multidisciplinary workshop were included in the analysis of this study. We propose strategies for researchers to enhance the likelihood of successfully implementing, scaling up and sustaining physical activity interventions in real-world settings.
Conclusion:
We summarize the elements that can contribute to a higher success rate when it comes to scaling up physical activity interventions around the world.
