A systematic review of school-based interventions targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour among older adolescents
Open accessAbstract
Lack of physical activity (PA) and high levels of sedentary behaviour (SB) have been associated with health problems. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of school-based interventions to increase PA and decrease SB among 15–19-year-old adolescents, and examines whether intervention characteristics (intervention length, delivery mode and intervention provider) and intervention content (i.e. behaviour change techniques, BCTs) are related to intervention effectiveness. A systematic search of randomised or cluster randomised controlled trials with outcome measures of PA and/or SB rendered 10 results. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Intervention content was coded using Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy v1. Seven out of 10 studies reported significant increases in PA. Effects were generally small and short-term (Cohen's d ranged from 0.132 to 0.659). Two out of four studies that measured SB reported significant reductions in SB. Interventions that increased PA included a higher number of BCTs, specific BCTs (e.g., goal setting, action planning and self-monitoring), and were delivered by research staff. Intervention length and mode of delivery were unrelated to effectiveness. More studies are needed that evaluate long-term intervention effectiveness and target SBs among older adolescents.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This systematic review found limited evidence that school-based interventions can increase physical activity (PA) among 15–19-year-olds in the short term, with 7 of 10 trials showing significant PA increases and generally small effects. Evidence for reducing sedentary behaviour (SB) was sparse, and no long-term effects were demonstrated.
Key findings
- Seven of 10 included studies reported significant increases in PA; effect sizes were generally small and short-term (Cohen’s d ranged from 0.132 to 0.659). Two of four studies measuring SB reported significant reductions in SB.
- Effective PA interventions focused on PA or PA and SB only, were mostly delivered by researchers (6 of 7 effective interventions), and included more behaviour change techniques (BCTs): mean 10.5 BCTs (range 5–20) in effective interventions vs. mean 4 BCTs (range 3–6) in ineffective interventions.
- BCTs unique to effective interventions were Information about social and environmental consequences, Graded tasks, Self-monitoring of behaviour, Feedback on behaviour, Problem solving, Goal setting (behaviour), Action planning, and Social support (unspecified). Intervention length and mode of delivery were unrelated to effectiveness.
- None of the four studies with follow-up beyond one month post-intervention reported significant between-group differences, and no included study focused solely on SB.
Methods
- Systematic review of randomised or cluster randomised controlled trials of school-based interventions targeting PA and/or SB among 15–19-year-old adolescents; searches covered Medline, Cinahl, Embase, PsycINFO, and Cochrane registers up to February 2013, yielding 8470 references, 5482 after duplicate removal, and 10 unique intervention studies (13 articles).
- Data extraction covered trial/sample/intervention characteristics and outcomes; risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias tool; intervention content was coded using Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy v1.
- Effect sizes (Cohen’s d) were calculated at first post-intervention follow-up; effective trials were defined as those with a significant between-group PA difference (p < .05); BCT effectiveness was explored by presence in a majority of effective trials but not/only once in non-effective trials, plus effectiveness ratios.
Limitations
- The paper states that included studies generally had weak methodological quality, small sample sizes, and high risk of bias; only three studies used objective PA measurement and only one objectively assessed SB, while most relied on self-report, risking recall and social desirability bias.
- The paper states there was a lack of long-term follow-ups, possible positive bias from volunteer participants, poor reporting of intervention content, and too few heterogeneous studies to conduct a meta-analysis; possible publication bias is also raised, and BCT effectiveness conclusions are described as tentative.
- The paper states control group interventions were insufficiently described to code BCTs, and no studies focused solely on SB, making SB-specific BCT conclusions impossible; evident from the text, only three non-effective studies were available for comparison, and no study demonstrated long-lasting PA effects.

Older adolescents differ from younger age groups in developmental stage and need different intervention strategies.

Effect sizes calculated from different physical activity measures and at the first post-intervention follow-up are comparable across studies.
“For each study, intervention effects (Cohen's d) for PA and SB were calculated at the first follow-up post-intervention. This was the only outcome measurement point after baseline that was reported in all included studies. Therefore, we selected this point in time to compare the effects across studies.”
The paper relies on this without support.
Self-reported physical activity measures used in the included studies are valid enough to assess intervention effects.
“Seven out of 10 studies relied exclusively on self-report methods to measure PA.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
