| Data was analyzed using R version 3.6.0 (The R foundation for Statistical Computing, Wien, Austria). | Statistical analyses were performed using SAS Enterprise Guide v7.15 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). |
| CWAT-based interventions increase physical activity and have beneficial effects on important health-related outcomes such as systolic blood pressure, waist circumference and LDL cholesterol concentration in patients with chronic diseases. | The study found that exercise after weight loss improved quality of life of people with obesity and maintain their weight. |
| The authors recommended that technology should be included in weight-loss programs. | The authors recommended that after weight loss, patients with obesity should continue with physical activity programs to maintain their weight. |

| Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative) | School-based physical activity interventions are effective in reducing weight in obese children. | Gamification can improve physical activity among adults with obesity or overweight. | ||
| Purposes/Aim of Study | The article aimed to systematically review and meta-analyse data on the overall effectiveness of school-based physical activity interventions on accelerometer-assessed daily minutes of MVPA, and investigate if this effect varies by gender or SEP. | To assess the effectiveness of support, collaboration, and competition within a behaviorally designed gamification intervention to increase physical activity among overweight and obese adults. | ||
| Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative) | Systematic review and meta-analysis. | The STEP-UP randomized clinical trial. | ||
| Setting/Sample | Twenty-five trials that met inclusion criteria were included in this review. | The sample were 602 adults from 40 states with body mass indexes (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) of 25 or higher. | ||
| Methods: Intervention/Instruments | The intervention was school-based physical activity. | The intervention was the Social incentives to Encourage Physical Activity and Understand Predictors (STEP UP). | ||
| Analysis | Data was analyzed using descriptive analysis. | Data was analyzed using SPSS. | ||

| The authors hypothesized that higher levels of PA are associated with more weight loss during an energy-restricted diet and also with less subsequent weight regain. | Physical activity reduces weight in pregnant women with obesity. |
| The authors investigated whether physical activity (PA) contributes to diet-induced weight loss and helps to reduce subsequent regain. | This study aimed to summarize and update the evidence on the effect of exercise on maternal gestational weight gain (GWG). |
| DiOGenes, a large multicenter European DiOGenes (Diet, Obesity and Genes) trial. | A meta-analysis was used to conduct the article analysis. |
| In total 1,121 individuals [men(M) and women(F) with at least one child <18 years in their household] were included in the study. | The authors included 23 RCTs including 4462 pregnant women that met the inclusion criteria. |
| The intervention is physical activity for weight loss. | The intervention is physical activity for weight loss. |
| Data was analyzed using repeated measurements ANOVA. | Data was analyzed using SPSS. |
| The study found that showed that body weight (BW), body fat percentage (%BF) and fat mass (FM) were significantly reduced by physical activity. The analysis supports the notion that self-imposed levels of PA may help to maintain weight loss. | Meta-analysis indicated that compared with that in women having conventional medical care, GWG was significantly decreased in pregnant women with physical exercise. |
| The study recommends that physical activity should be include in weigh loss programs. | The article recommended that people should engage in physical exercise 3 times per week and duration of 30 to 45 minutes each time. |
| The study will be used to support PA for weight loss. | The article can be used to develop the background of the project and support the proposed intervention. |
