Effectiveness of step-count monitoring interventions in increasing physical activity among children and adolescents: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of step-count monitoring interventions on objectively measured physical activity-related outcomes in children and adolescents.

Methods

This review was designed and conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The following five electronic databases were searched to identify relevant studies: PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library. The search was performed from the date of database inception to December 7, 2024. Meta-analyses were conducted to evaluate the pooled effects of the interventions on daily steps, accelerometer-measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary behavior (SB).
