Physical inactivity commonly occurs throughout one’s life, particularly during adolescence and young adulthood. Multiple factors can negatively influence participation in physical activity, but there has been no review examining the barriers to activity among high school university students. Therefore, aim of this systematic was summarize evidence practice The literature search conducted without time limits using five databases, including CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Scopus. In total, 59 studies (37 with students [n = 22,908] 22 15,411]) were included. main identified lack time, motivation, accessible places.

Design Systematic review meta-analysis. Data sources The PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, SportDiscus PsycINFO databases. Eligibility criteria for selecting studies Randomised controlled trials on effect available from inception to 2 December 2022. Standardised mean differences (SMD) their 95% compatibility intervals (CI) were estimated with DerSimonian-Laird method through random models.
