Computer-tailored physical activity interventions are becoming increasingly popular. Recent reviews have comprehensively synthesised published research on computer-tailored interventions delivered via interactive technology (e.g. web-based programs) but there is a paucity of synthesis for interventions delivered via traditional print-based media in the physical activity domain (i.e. tailored-print interventions). The current study provides a systematic review of the tailored-print literature, to identify key factors relating to efficacy in tailored-print physical activity interventions.
Computer-tailored print intervention studies published up until May 2010 were identified through a search of three databases: Medline, CINAHL, and Psycinfo; and by searching reference lists of relevant publications, hand searching journals and by reviewing publications lists of 11 key authors who have published in this field.
The search identified 12 interventions with evaluations reported in 26 publications. Seven out of the 12 identified studies reported positive intervention effects on physical activity behaviour, ranging from one month to 24 months post-baseline and 3 months to 18 months post-intervention. The majority of studies reporting positive intervention effects were theory-based interventions with multiple intervention contacts.
There is preliminary evidence that tailored-print interventions are a promising approach to promoting physical activity in adult populations. Future research is needed to further identify key factors relating to efficacy and to determine if this approach is cost-effective and sustainable in the long-term.
计算机定制的体育活动干预措施正日益受到欢迎。最近的综述全面综合了已发表的关于通过交互式技术（如基于网络的程序）提供的计算机定制干预措施的研究，但在体育活动领域，通过传统印刷媒体提供的干预措施（即定制印刷干预措施）的综合研究却很少。本研究对定制印刷文献进行了系统综述，以确定与定制印刷体育活动干预措施的效果相关的关键因素。
通过对三个数据库（Medline、CINAHL 和 Psycinfo）的搜索，以及对相关出版物参考文献的搜索、手工搜索期刊和 11 位在该领域发表过文章的主要作者的出版物清单的审查，确定了截至 2010 年 5 月发表的计算机定制印刷干预研究。
搜索共确定了 12 项干预措施，在 26 篇出版物中有评估报告。在 12 项确定的研究中，有 7 项报告了对体育活动行为的积极干预效果，从基线后一个月到 24 个月，从干预后 3 个月到 18 个月不等。大多数报告积极干预效果的研究都是基于理论的干预措施，干预次数较多。
有初步证据表明，定制印刷干预措施是促进成年人群体体育活动的一种很有前途的方法。需要进一步研究以确定与疗效相关的关键因素，并确定这种方法在长期内是否具有成本效益和可持续性。
