Staying engaged: a scoping review of psychological and motivational drivers of adherence to technology-supported physical activity in older adults
This review provides a comprehensive overview supporting the understanding of what determines adherence in technology-supported PA interventions for older adults from a psychological and motivational perspective. By differentiating between technology adherence and PA adherence, and considering the BCTs that are incorporated in the interventions, our findings offer actionable guidance for researchers and developers to design more inclusive, motivating, and sustainable interventions that promote active ageing.
