Physical inactivity is a health problem that affects people worldwide and has been identified as the fourth largest risk factor for overall mortality (contributing to 6% of deaths globally). Many researchers have tried to increase physical activity levels through traditional methods without much success. Thus, many researchers are turning to mobile technology as an emerging method for changing health behaviours. This systematic review sought to summarise and update the existing scientific literature on increasing physical activity through mobile device interventions, taking into account the methodological quality of the studies. The articles were identified by searching the PubMed, SCOPUS and SPORTDiscus databases for studies published between January 2003 and December 2013. Studies investigating efforts to increase physical activity through mobile phone or even personal digital assistant interventions were included. The search results allowed the inclusion of 11 studies that gave rise to 12 publications. Six of the articles included in this review reported significant increases in physical activity levels. The number of studies using mobile devices for interventions has increased exponentially in the last few years, but future investigations with better methodological quality are needed to draw stronger conclusions regarding how to increase physical activity through mobile device interventions.
缺乏身体活动是一个影响全球人群的健康问题，已被确定为总体死亡率的第四大风险因素（在全球死亡病例中占6%）。许多研究人员试图通过传统方法提高身体活动水平，但成效不大。因此，许多研究人员将目光转向移动技术，将其作为改变健康行为的一种新兴方法。本系统综述旨在总结和更新关于通过移动设备干预增加身体活动的现有科学文献，同时考虑研究的方法学质量。通过检索PubMed、SCOPUS和SPORTDiscus数据库，找出2003年1月至2013年12月发表的相关研究，从而确定文章。纳入了调查通过手机甚至个人数字助理干预来增加身体活动的研究。检索结果纳入了11项研究，这些研究产生了12篇出版物。本综述纳入的6篇文章报告了身体活动水平显著提高。在过去几年中，使用移动设备进行干预的研究数量呈指数增长，但需要未来方法学质量更高的调查，以便就如何通过移动设备干预增加身体活动得出更有力的结论。
