| Intervention |
All types of clinician-guided or self-directed behaviour change
interventions (defined as coordinated sets of activities designed to change
specified behaviour patterns [30], which may or may not include recognized behaviour change
techniques) Treatment groups must have received intervention content that has the aim
of changing participant behaviour (e.g. any effort by the health-care
professional or researchers to change, or support change, of a behaviour);
these might include, but were not limited to, goal-setting activities or
behaviour monitoring Intervention descriptions must include a specific, measurable prescription
of physical activity or exercise (i.e. a set of planned, structured and
repetitive movements to be followed for the duration of the
intervention)
|
No physical activity or exercise intervention clearly described |
| Comparison |
Not applicable: studies with or without comparison groups
included |
| Outcomes |
Self-reported measure of adherence to physical activity and/or exercise at
the end of the intervention Outcomes could be reported as exercise diaries, questionnaires, levels of
physical activity by any validated measure (e.g. monitoring device, i.e.
step-count, accelerometer)
|
|
| Study design |
Randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental trials, prospective cohort
studies, retrospective cohort analyses and before–after trials that reported
baseline and follow-up measurements of adherence to physical activity and/or
exercise or physical activity/exercise levels in at least two groups, including
qualitative |
