Abstract

Traditionally, the diversity of factors that influence the practice of physical activity of adolescents has been widely studied. However, we have not found research that provides empirical data that allow us to determine the effect of motivation and the use of ICT in the practice of physical activity in adolescents. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review of the studies that evaluate the effect of motivation and the use of ICT to improve the practice of physical activity in adolescence. The review included 243 scientific articles published in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases, from January 2010 to April 2021, using the PRISMA methodology to analyze the information. The results provide scientific evidence that justify that motivation and the use of ICT are factors that positively affect the performance of physical activity. Among the main reasons, it stands out that the inappropriate use of technological resources is one of the main causes of sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity and the decline in healthy lifestyle habits of the population.
