Physical activity (PA) plays a crucial role in primary prevention, leading many companies to implement PA-based CHPs. However, there is limited examination in the scientific literature on whether PA-based CHPs (PA-CHPs) lead to economic benefits. This systematic review aimed to summarize the available literature on the economic aspects of PA-CHPs.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods: A systematic review was conducted to identify studies focused on PA-CHPs targeting healthy sedentary workers and reporting at least one economic outcome, such as return on investment (ROI), costs, or sick leave.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Of 1036 studies identified by our search strategy, 11 studies involving 60\u2009020 participants met the inclusion criteria. The mean (\u00b1SD) cost per capita for PA-CHPs was estimated as 359\u20ac (\u00b1238\u20ac) (95% CI, 357-361\u20ac). In 75% of the studies, the net savings generated by PA-CHPs in 12\u00a0months were reported, with an average of 1095\u20ac (\u00b1865\u20ac) (95% CI, 496-1690\u20ac). ROI was assessed in 50% of the included studies, with an average of 3.6 (\u00b11.41) (95% CI, 2.19-5.01).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: In addition to promoting a healthy lifestyle, PA-CHPs have the potential to generate significant economic returns. However, the heterogeneity among the existing studies highlights the need for standardization and accurate reporting of costs in future
