description Casey L Peiris,1 Amy Gallagher,2 Nicholas F Taylor,1,3 Sionnadh McLean2 1School of Allied Health, Human Services and Sport, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; 2Department of Allied Health Professions, Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK; 3Allied Health Clinical Research Office, Eastern Health, Box Hill, Victoria, AustraliaCorrespondence: Sionnadh McLean, Collegiate Campus, Sheffield Hallam University, L108, 36 Collegiate Crescent, Sheffield, S10 2BP, UK, Tel +447342 092 340, Email S.McLean@shu.ac.ukBackground: Exercise and physical activity interventions improve short-term outcomes for people with metabolic syndrome, but long-term improvements are reliant on sustained adherence to lifestyle change for effective management of the syndrome. Effective ways of improving adherence to physical activity and exercise recommendations in this population are unknown. This systematic review aims to determine which interventions enhance adherence to physical activity and/or exercise recommendations for people with metabolic syndrome.Methods: Electronic databases MEDLINE, PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTdiscuss and ProQuest were searched to July 2022. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and overall certainty of evidence assessed using the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.Results: Four randomized controlled trials with 428 participants (mean age 49– 61 years) were included. There was very low certainty evidence from two trials that goal setting interventions may improve adherence to physical activity recommendations over three to six months. There was low certainty evidence from two trials that self-monitoring and feedback interventions increased adherence to physical activity interventions over 12 months for people with metabolic syndrome.Conclusion: Clinicians and researchers may consider using behavior change strategies such as goal setting, monitoring and feedback in interventions for people with metabolic syndrome to increase adherence to physical activity and exercise recommendations over 3 to 12 months, but high-quality evidence is lacking.Keywords: metabolic syndrome, adherence, long-term condition, behavior change, physical activity, exercise
