Regular physical exercise lowers the risk of all-cause mortality and various chronic diseases. New technologies, such as smartphones and social media, have been used successfully as health promotion tools in college populations. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of studies examining the effectiveness of interventions that used modern technologies, as with social media or text messaging, to promote physical activity or reducing sedentary behavior in college students. The systematic review was conducted on the PubMed and SCOPUS databases, considering studies published from 2012 to 2022. For a total of 19 articles selected, an evidence table was drawn up, and the quality of the studies was assessed using the PRISMA checklist. The interventions differed enormously in design, from the strategies implemented to the types of outcome considered. Fifteen of the 19 studies demonstrated an improvement in participants' physical activity levels, 3 studies found no such improvement, and 1 reported a worsening of baseline activity levels. Interventions to improve college students' physical activity levels through the use of social media and/or text messaging tend to be effective. However, many factors can influence the effectiveness of such interventions. For example, a gender-related difference emerged in student participation, and the interventions proved more effective if they were accompanied by the creation of social groups.
定期进行体育锻炼可以降低全因死亡率和各种慢性疾病的风险。新技术，如智能手机和社交媒体，已成功地被用作大学生群体的健康促进工具。本研究的目的是对使用现代技术（如社交媒体或短信）促进大学生进行体育活动或减少久坐行为的干预措施进行系统评价。系统评价在 PubMed 和 SCOPUS 数据库中进行，考虑了 2012 年至 2022 年发表的研究。共选择了 19 篇文章，制定了证据表，并使用 PRISMA 清单评估了研究的质量。干预措施在设计上差异巨大，从实施的策略到考虑的结果类型。19 项研究中有 15 项表明参与者的体育活动水平有所提高，3 项研究没有发现这种改善，1 项报告说基线活动水平恶化。通过使用社交媒体和/或短信来提高大学生的体育活动水平的干预措施往往是有效的。然而，许多因素会影响此类干预措施的有效性。例如，学生参与方面存在性别差异，如果干预措施伴随着创建社交群体，则效果会更好。
