Objectives Web-based physical activity interventions are a potential strategy for improving quality of life, well-being, and social isolation for older adults. This study aims to review the effects of web-based physical activity interventions on the quality of life, social isolation, and psychological well-being of older adults.
Methods & Materials This is a systematic review study. A search was performed in three databases—PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science—for related articles published in English.
Results After screening 579 articles, 13 studies were included. The results showed that web-based physical activity interventions had different effects on outcomes. Some studies showed significant reductions in social isolation, while quality of life did not change significantly. Some also reported small improvements in depression, anxiety, and social isolation, along with improvements in mental health. Some studies did not show a significant effect on social isolation or quality of life.
Conclusion Web-based physical activity interventions can improve the quality of life and psychological well-being of older adults, while their impact on social isolation is inconsistent and dependent on the intervention design. Therefore, future studies should be conducted with a controlled design to more comprehensively examine the effectiveness of these interventions on reducing social isolation in older adults.
