Abstract
BackgroundWeb- and mobile-based physical activity interventions effectively promote physical and mental health among older adults, but participation and adherence are suboptimal. MethodsThis qualitative review used the mega-aggregation approach. Searches were conducted in five databases from the earliest to November 2023. Quality assessment and data extraction used JBI tools. Data synthesis used the COM-B model as a guide. ResultsSixteen sub-themes were identified from the eight studies and categorized into the COM-B model. Sub‑themes were physical and psychological changes, digital skills and knowledge, older adult-friendly design, integration into daily routines, social influence, family engagement and support, health benefits and impairments, accessibility and flexibility, low cost, visibility and interaction, instructions and feedback, personalization and progression, incentives, self-efficacy, visual cues, self-monitoring. DiscussionWeb- and mobile-based interventions motivate older adults to engage in physical activity, but modifications are necessary. This includes age-appropriate interfaces and contents, tailored behavioral change techniques, and family engagement.
