BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a main risk factor of death worldwide, and contributes to psychological and physical problems, including obesity. Physical activity (PA) is critical to preventing health deterioration. Many technological interventions designed to promote PA have limited efficacy as some critical variables affecting PA are not considered. This study aims to understand the variables affecting PA, including barriers or facilitators for doing PA to facilitate the design of effective interventions OBJECTIVE (1) To investigate the mediating non-demographic variables of physical (in)activity, with emphasis on psychological variables, (2) to study which PA variables are considered in the design of intervention technologies to promote PA, (3) to provide a tool – a questionnaire- that allows the identification of PA variables when exploring the design space, (4) to investigate the relationship of PA variables with individuals' weight and actual PA level. METHODS We conducted two literature reviews on PA barriers/facilitators, using PsycINFO and ACM Digital Libraries. The PsycINFO literature search yielded 470 articles of which 50 articles were finally selected; PA barriers/facilitators were studied from these articles and used to design the Barriers Questionnaire for PA (BQPA) with 63 items. The ACM literature search yielded 123 articles, of which 15 articles were finally selected and used to evaluate the attention given to the PA variables in the design of technologies for PA. We then conducted a survey study using the BQPA, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and demographic questions. The survey was filled out by a representative sample of the Spanish population (N=1012), including participants from all PA and weight levels. RESULTS 38 variables were identified as PA barriers/facilitators. Few studies evaluate their relationship with the actual PA level, and most lack an actual PA measure. The same barriers are reported for the overweight/obese and the normal-weight population, but some barriers are stronger in the obese. Only 17 out of the 38 variables were considered when developing PA technologies. On the survey data, we related the item scores with the participant’s PA level and weight. We found significant correlations between PA level and 62 BQPA items (all P<=.027) and between weight group and 35 BPQA items (all P<=.049). CONCLUSIONS Our contribution is three-fold. First, the literature reviews provide an in-depth account of barriers to PA in normal-weight, overweight and obese populations, and illustrate the lack of consideration of these in the design of PA technologies. Second, we propose a novel questionnaire on barriers to PA, specifically designed to ensure consideration of factors identified in the literature review. Third, we show high correlations between many identified variables and PA participation, and demonstrate how actual PA levels and body weight must also be considered. These results can guide future work on technological interventions for PA.

Aim: To analyze the characteristics of multicomponent interventions to reduce childhood overweight and obesity in territories with an extremely cold climate. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA statement. MEDLINE, PsycNet, SciELO, and grey literature databases were reviewed in the period between 2010 and 2020. Results: 29 articles were included (n = 4434 participants; 9.3 years; 56% women) with an average adherence of 86%, 100% being the highest adherence, for the physical activity and nutrition interventions. The primary variables studied were BMI, BMI Z-score BMI-SDS and, additionally, the secondary variables studied were nutritional status and physical and mental health. In 72% of the interventions presented, positive effects were seen on the reduction of BMI, including in parents and their children. The interventions were carried out mainly by nutritionists in health centers. The duration of the 29 interventions was ≤6 months and ≥12 months, in 59% and 41% of the studies, respectively. 57% of the studies reported post-intervention results. 86% of the interventions included a physical activity component, 80% included a nutrition component, 66% included a behavioral therapy component and 55% included an education component. Concerning the effects of the intervention on the primary outcome, in interventions with a duration equal to or less than six months, the most effective interventions included recreational activities, education, and nutritional programs. In interventions lasting 12 months or more, the most effective interventions included physical activity recommendations, nutritional and physical exercise programs, and cooking classes. Conclusions: This systematic review analyzed the effectiveness of, and characterized, multicomponent interventions lasting for 6 and 12 months, aiming to treat childhood obesity in extremely cold climates. The most frequently used units of measurement were also analyzed and summarized. Evidence derived from RCT. These results can be useful for designing future interventions to treat childhood obesity in territories with an extremely cold climate.
