NOTE: This is an unreviewed Preprint
Warning: This is a unreviewed preprint (What is a preprint?). Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above). All preprints currently open for review are listed here. Outside of the formal open peer-review period we encourage you to tweet about the preprint.
Citation: Please cite this preprint only for review purposes or for grant applications and CVs (if you are the author).
Final version: If our system detects a final peer-reviewed "version of record" (VoR) published in any journal, a link to that VoR will appear below. Readers are then encourage to cite the VoR instead of this preprint.
Settings: If you are the author, you can login and change the preprint display settings, but the preprint URL/DOI is supposed to be stable and citable, so it should not be removed once posted.
Submit: To post your own preprint, simply submit to any JMIR journal, and choose the appropriate settings to expose your submitted version as preprint.
Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Physical activity and physical exercise mHealth interventions. A systematic review
ABSTRACT
The inclusion of physical activity and physical exercise prescription in the field of mHealth, offers a new field of research in an increasingly digitized society. In this context, it is necessary to assess the applicability, reliability and adequacy of the control variables and assessment of the volume and intensity of physical exercise, taking into account the criteria of individualization and specificity of the pathology. This systematic review was to study the adherence and effectiveness of physical activity or physical exercise mHealth programs depending on its variables, communication channels and technological resources. A literature research was carried out using the Pubmed, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar platforms. Of 809 initial results, 13 clinical studies were included in the analysis, related to cardiac (4), oncological (3), pulmonary (1), Parkinson's (1) diseases, as well as the promotion of FA in sedentary people (2), general population (1) and pregnant women (1). En relación a la efectividad de la intervención en términos relativos a PA, 9 de los resultados finales (70%) se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas de mejorar en el grupo experimental. The most used variables are the daily steps and the minutes of physical activity or exercise per day. The most used technological resources are specific applications and wristband FitBit®. Main communication channels are SMS and the social network Facebook. mHealth interventions had a greater effectiveness of and adherence to experimental PA or PE prescription programs using digital devices than in those prescribed in person or without technological support. Workload was evaluated using variables of a quantitative and non-specific nature, and and there are no interventions specifically designed to meet the needs or technological capabilities of their target population
