Abstract
Background: information and communication technologies have produced lifestyle changes, especially in physical activity. Therefore, it is important to promote the use of those resources through innovative processes to improve the quality of life. Objective: to analyze the scientific evidence on the information and communication technologies used for the promotion of physical activity. Method: a bibliographic search of publications in scientific journals between 2013 and 2019 was carried out. The descriptors technology, physical activity, innovation and their equivalences in English were used. The analyzed elements were title, abstract, publication year, language, country and publication source. From the complete text, the variables technology, population group, activities or strategies and results were analyzed. Results: 32 full articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The most used technologies for the promotion of physical activity in the different groups were PPPs and mobile phones; the evidence concludes that their use generates adherence and contributes to life quality. Conclusion: the need for the use of information and communication technologies was evidenced, therefore, innovative physical activity practice in different populations is encouraged. The challenge for professionals who work on the area is to take such technologies and start their implementation.
