Effectiveness of wearable activity trackers to increase physical activity and improve health: a systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
Wearable activity trackers offer an appealing, low-cost tool to address physical inactivity.
This systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses (umbrella review) aimed
to examine the effectiveness of activity trackers for improving physical activity
and related physiological and psychosocial outcomes in clinical and non-clinical populations.
Seven databases (Embase, MEDLINE, Ovid Emcare, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, the Cochrane Library,
and Web of Science) were searched from database inception to April 8, 2021.
