Eligibility criteria.

Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria
Test of a mobile application in sport and exercise Instruments other than mobile applications (e.g., computer software)
Tests were conducted in healthy athletes or recreationally healthy active adults for strength (e.g., resistance training exercises/movements), power (e.g., jumping, lifting movements), velocity (e.g., linear sprinting), and change-of-direction The tests were not conducted in athletes (e.g., pregnant, elderly) or in healthy active adults (i.e., injury) for strength, power, velocity, and change-of-direction related movements (e.g., assessment of instruments without human action involved)
Estimation of movement velocity, movement time (e.g., a difference of time to complete a movement), and movement displacement (e.g., jump height) Estimation of other outcomes than movement velocity, movement time, and movement displacement
In the case of validity, the apps were compared to the recognized gold standard:
  • (1)

    Movement velocity (e.g., radar gun; isoinertial dynamometer consisting in cValid-extension linear position transducer; optoelectronic system)

  • (2)

    Movement time (e.g., photocells)

  • (3)

    Movement displacement (e.g., force plates, optoelectronic system)

For validity, the apps were not compared with recognized gold standard methods or were compared with other apps
In the case of validity, one of the following measures were included: (i) typical error; (ii) mean absolute error; (iii) correlation coefficient; and (iv) standard error of the estimate For validity, outcomes presented are not typical error, mean absolute error, correlation coefficient or standard error of estimate.
In the case of reliability, one of the following measures were included: (i) intraclass correlation test; (ii) coefficient of variation; (iii) standardized typical error; and (iv) standard error of measurement. For reliability, outcomes presented are not (i) intraclass correlation test; (ii) coefficient of variation; (iii) standardized typical error; and (iv) standard error of measurement.
Only original and full-text studies written in English Written in language other than English. Other article types than original (e.g., reviews, letters to editors, trial registrations, proposals for protocols, editorials, book chapters and conference abstracts).
