Review Meta Analysis[A Systematic Review of Reviews of Interventions for the Promotion of Physical Activity: Methodology and First Results].
As part of the development of recommendations for physical activity promotion, a review of reviews was performed. This article presents both the utilised methodology and first results. A systematic review of reviews was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Sport Discus, PsycInfo and other electronic databases. ⋯ In contrast, only 14 reviews dealt with physical activity promotion among older people. This review of reviews allowed for an analysis of the effectiveness regarding different intervention types for physical activity promotion. Depending on the target group and type of intervention, differences in quality of available evidence could be identified.

Review Meta Analysis[Are Interventions Promoting Physical Activity Cost-Effective? A Systematic Review of Reviews].
On the basis of international published reviews, this systematic review aims to determine the health economic benefits of interventions promoting physical activity. This review of reviews is based on a systematic literature research in 10 databases (e. g. PubMed, Scopus, SPORTDiscus) supplemented by hand searches from January 2000 to October 2015. ⋯ Results show favourable cost-effectiveness for interventions promoting physical activity, though significant differences in the effectiveness between various interventions were noticed. The greatest potential for cost-effectiveness can be seen in population-based interventions. At the same time, there is a need to acknowledge the limitations of the economic evidence in this field which are attributable to methodological challenges and research deficits.
