Experimental designs had to include ≥2 within- or between-participant conditions with ≥10 participants per condition. For inclusion, randomized controlled trials had to prominently (>50% of intervention) feature AVG technology, involve repeated AVG exposure, and target changes in PA behavior. This protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO: CRD42020204191). Methods: Six databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) were reviewed until December 31, 2020. Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain insights into when and why longitudinal AVG interventions are more or less successful for sustained increases in PA, especially for public health. To the best of our knowledge, no prior systematic review or meta-analysis has specifically focused on studies of longitudinal AVG interventions targeting increases in PA behaviors. Furthermore, given the significant heterogeneity in AVG research, study inclusion criteria may significantly influence conclusions. As a result, reviews of literature in this field can become outdated, revealing the need for updated high-quality reviews that identify overarching insights.
