This study was designed to analyze the effectiveness of wearable devices on physical activity interventions among children and adolescents and explore the impact of factors such as device type, wearing position, duration of intervention and other factors on the results.
Methods By using Boolean logic operation combined the search for documents published in Web of science, PubMed, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, CNKI, Wan Fang and VIP during 2010-01-01-2018-09-30, and after deduplication and screening, seventeen articles were finally included.
Results 47.06% of the studies showed that wearable devices were effective on physical activity interventions among children and adolescents, and 23.53% of studies showed that interventions were ineffective, and 23.53% of the studies showed that the intervention effects were uncertain.
Conclusions the intervention effect of wearable devices on physical activity needs to be improved, and the reasons for affecting the intervention effect need to be further explored.
