Comparing digital health intervention with minimal intervention\/usual care showed no effect of objective PA (standardised mean difference (SMD) 0.85, 95% CI: \u22120.07 to 1.77) and a small effect of subjective PA (SMD 0.37, 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.69) at the end of intervention both graded as very low certainty of evidence. We found very low certainty of evidence for moderate effects on physical function (SMD 0.63, 95% CI: 0.03 to 1.24), and low certainty of evidence for no effect on physical fitness (SMD 0.19, 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.34) and HRQoL (SMD 0.13, 95% CI: \u22120.02 to 0.28), I\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 0.00%) at the end of intervention.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Digital health interventions showed a small effect on subjectively measured PA, and no effect on objective PA, physical fitness and HRQoL, but may increase physical function after CR completion.
