Reviews included people with chronic respiratory disease (n=64), cardiovascular disease (n=54), chronic low back pain (n=4) or knee\/hip osteoarthritis (n=14). Most reviews had an unclear risk of bias (n=10). We identified three types of maintenance interventions based on delivery mode: primarily digital, primarily inperson and a mixed category comprising exclusively digital, inperson or hybrid delivery. Beneficial effects were found for digital health interventions on subjective PA (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.37, 95%\u2009CI 0.05 to 0.69, low certainty), but no beneficial effects were found for inperson booster sessions (very low to low certainty). Mixed maintenance interventions showed beneficial effects for health-related quality of life (MD 0.28 points 95%\u2009CI 0.05 to 0.52; SMD 0.22 95%\u2009CI 0.03 to 0.41; MD \u22122.69 points 95%\u2009CI \u22124.49 to \u22120.9; moderate certainty), objective PA (SMD 2.14 95%\u2009CI 0.9 to 3.38, low certainty) and objective physical function (SMD 0.48 95%\u2009CI 0.19 to 0.77, low certainty). We found no effect or inconsistent effects for fitness, adverse events, hospitalisation and return-to-work (low to moderate certainty).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Maintenance interventions may help people continue to be physically active and improve physical function and health-related quality of life. However, this is based on low certainty of evidence. The remaining outcomes were generally inconsistent or indicated no effects. Digital maintenance interventions show some beneficial effects for PA but higher-quality studies are needed across various chronic conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PROSPERO registration number<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CRD42024579734.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2025-110444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]],"date-time":"2026-05-14T17:20:26Z","timestamp":1778779226000},"page":"884-899","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Effectiveness of maintenance interventions promoting physical activity following exercise therapy for chronic conditions: an umbrella review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1851-4370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Luijk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Research, Zealand University Hospital, Nyk\u00f8bing Falster, Denmark"},{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9717-918X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessio","family":"Bricca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Muscle and Joint Health, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sofie Rath","family":"Mortensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"},{"name":"Research Unit for Exercise Epidemiology, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P\u00e6tur","family":"Holm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"},{"name":"Center for Surgery, National Hospital of the Faroe Islands, T\u00f3rshavn, Faroe Islands"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Faroe Islands, T\u00f3rshavn, Faroe Islands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Graziella","family":"Zanger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Simon\u00ff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4336-7059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00f8ren T","family":"Skou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"},{"name":"Center for Muscle and Joint Health, Department of Sports Science and Clinical Biomechanics, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Lund","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Social Medicine, University Hospital Bispebjerg-Frederiksberg, Frederiksberg, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Occupational and Social Medicine, University of Copenhagen Department of Public Health, Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lars Hermann","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Implementation Unit PROgrez, Department of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy, N\u00e6stved Slagelse and Ringsted Hospitals, Slagelse, Region Zealand, Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Regional Health Research, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026061203150621000_60.12.884.1","unstructured":"WHO .
