Abstract

Objective: Exercise adherence and motivation can benefit from technology, but the specific factors influencing these improvements remain unclear. This scoping review aimed to outline the types and features of technology used in exercise prescription within healthcare, focusing on enhancing users' adherence to exercise.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted from January 2000 to February 2023 across Web of Science, Google Scholar, and MEDLINE via PubMed. The review sought studies on technology-based exercise prescriptions for adults ≥ 18 years, evaluating features that enhance motivation or adherence.

Results: Out of 1724 articles reviewed, 45 met the criteria, demonstrating that mobile applications, exercise gaming, wearable trackers, and websites are commonly used technologies for prescribing exercise in healthcare setting. Common features, special features, and motivating features were found to be important in all technology-based exercise tools to enhance users' adherence and motivation.

Conclusion: This review provides a comprehensive overview of the technological types and approaches that can support and improve exercise adherence among health service users. The findings also emphasize on specific features that can address current gaps in technology-driven fitness interventions.

Practice implications: Healthcare professionals should make informed decisions when recommending these tools to health service users, since technology does play a significant role in promoting long-term adherence to exercise programs.

对用于提供运动处方和提高运动依从性的技术的类型和特征进行范围审查。

目的：运动坚持和动力可以从技术中受益，但影响这些改善的具体因素尚不清楚。这项范围审查旨在概述医疗保健中运动处方中使用的技术的类型和特点，重点是增强用户对运动的坚持。方法：从2000年1月到2023年2月，通过PubMed对Web of Science、b谷歌Scholar和MEDLINE进行全面系统的文献检索。该综述寻求针对≥18岁成人的基于技术的运动处方的研究，评估增强动机或坚持的特征。结果：在审查的1724篇文章中，45篇符合标准，这表明移动应用程序、运动游戏、可穿戴追踪器和网站是医疗保健环境中常用的运动处方技术。我们发现，在所有基于技术的锻炼工具中，共同特征、特殊特征和激励特征都是重要的，可以增强用户的依从性和动机。结论：本文综述了支持和提高卫生服务使用者运动依从性的技术类型和方法。研究结果还强调了可以解决目前技术驱动的健身干预方面的差距的具体功能。实践意义：医疗保健专业人员在向健康服务用户推荐这些工具时应该做出明智的决定，因为技术确实在促进长期坚持锻炼计划方面发挥着重要作用。
