This study primarily examined the relationships of context consistency with PA behaviour and PA habit strength, compared effect sizes across five cue dimensions and explored potential moderators. A systematic review and meta\u2010analysis was conducted, including a search of six electronic databases. A three level random effects model was employed to account for effect size dependency. A total of 14 independent studies involving 6069 participants were integrated. Context consistency was significantly correlated with both PA behaviour (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.11) and PA habit strength (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.20). Although effect sizes were small, they are consistent with population\u2010level benchmarks in the PA literature. Only temporal consistency and routine consistency were significantly correlated with PA behaviour; consistency of temporal, social, location, routine and mood cues showed significant positive associations with PA habit strength; no studies examined associations involving object cues. PA operationalisation (frequency vs. duration) moderated the consistency\u2013behaviour relationship, with stronger effects when PA was operationalised as frequency rather than duration. Additionally, PA habit strength was found to be significantly positively correlated with PA behaviour, with a medium\u2010to\u2010large effect size. These findings indicate that cue dimensions differentially relate to PA outcomes, with temporal and routine cues emerging as key targets for behaviour\u2010focused interventions, supporting a shift toward cue\u2010specific PA promotion strategies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/aphw.70204","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T23:45:26Z","timestamp":1786578326000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Not all cues are equal: A systematic review and three\u2010level meta\u2010analysis of context consistency, physical activity and habit strength"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1026-9505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lianghao","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9063-3001","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingying","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0283-7280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bojun","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Exercise Physiology Beijing Sport University  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0271-8409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haoming","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences &amp; Peking Union Medical College  Beijing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4511-7902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Navin","family":"Kaushal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences, School of Health and Human Sciences Indiana University\u2010 Indianapolis  Indianapolis Indiana USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6894-386X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xinyi","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4105-3734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8703-1270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7716-2479","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Solomon B.","family":"Oguntuase","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sports Unit Elizade University  Ilara\u2010Mokin Ondo State Nigeria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-3378-9573","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5388-6501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liancheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Psychological and Physiological Regulation in Competitive Sports Tianjin University of Sport  Tianjin China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-5978(91)90020-T"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s44159-024-00305-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jphys.2024.03.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/bul0000188"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.20982\/tqmp.12.3.p154"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Handbook of social cognition","author":"Bargh J.
