Abstract Synopsis

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined how computer, mobile, and wearable technologies can help reduce sedentary behavior (SB) in healthy adults, finding that these tools can significantly decrease sitting time by about 41 minutes per day on average.
  • The study analyzed 1517 randomized controlled trials up to June 2016 and found that the effectiveness of these interventions varies over time, with the greatest reductions seen in the short term (around 42 minutes), and less in the long term (about 16 minutes).
  • Common behavior change techniques used in these interventions included prompts and cues, self-monitoring, social support, and goal setting, which contributed to their overall effectiveness in encouraging people to sit less.]
