Reviews published between 2018 and 2025 were searched in SCOPUS, PubMed or MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and SPORTDiscus or EBSCO, using a combination of terms addressing the type of digital tool (eg, apps, wearables, etc) and device-based PA outcomes. Eligible SRs and meta-analyses focused on populations aged 6\u201017 years and evaluated digital interventions aimed at increasing PA. Methodological quality was assessed using AMSTAR 2 (A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews) for SRs and meta-analyses, and Risk of Bias 2 for RCTs. Intervention characteristics and effectiveness outcomes were summarized as frequencies, and\n                      <jats:sup\/>\n                      chi-square tests were applied to explore differences in effectiveness across study features.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Forty-eight SRs or meta-analyses comprising 62 RCTs were included. The reviews\u2019 quality was moderate to poor, and 7\/62 (11.3%) of RCTs were judged to have a high risk of bias. The mainly addressed PA outcomes were moderate-to-vigorous PA and step counts, commonly measured using accelerometers and pedometers. Overall, 45.2% of interventions demonstrated effectiveness for at least 1 PA outcome. Higher effectiveness rates were observed in RCTs that targeted PA as the sole primary outcome (19\/32, 59.4%), used wearables as both the digital intervention component (7\/11, 63.6%) and delivery device (8\/12, 66.7%), and used pedometers for PA outcome measurement (13\/16, 81.3%). Significant differences in effectiveness were found for the type of PA assessment device (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.003) and for interventions targeting low-income populations, which showed lower effectiveness (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      =.01).

It offers evidence-based insights for practitioners, educators, and policymakers, helping to identify digital tools most likely to successfully increase PA in youth. Future research should prioritize stronger methodological rigor and more precise intervention designs.
