Selection of studies
Two reviewers (PS and ER) will independently screen the titles and abstracts of potential studies for eligibility based on the eligibility criteria of the review. Any disagreement at this stage will be resolved via discussion or in consultation with the third reviewer (SB). Full texts of all the included studies will be downloaded, and in case of non-available full texts study, authors or subject experts will be contacted for full texts: in case the full text remains unavailable, we will exclude that study. In case of two reports of the same study, the latest and the one with the complete information will be included for full-text and the other report will be marked as a duplicate. In the next step, a full-text screening will be performed by two review authors (PS and ER) independently. Any disagreement during this stage will be resolved by consensus or via contacting the third author (SB). More information about the process of selection of studies is given in Table Screening protocol
B) Does the study involve one of the following designs or analyses: • Analytical cross-sectional studies, case–control studies • Longitudinal studies • Randomized controlled trials, and non-randomized trialsIf the answer is “yes,” go to COR if it is notclearly statedin the abstract, go to CIf the publication is a commentary, perspective, editorial, review, or conference abstract,exclude the studyF) Does the study explains the PAAny physical activity/exercise for a minimum of 60 min in a day for a minimum of 3 days in a week. There is no restriction on the mode and setting of PA. It should include moderate or vigorous activity (causing a noticeable to a substantial increase in HR and breathing, respectively) Activities like such as brisk walking, running, swimming, dancing, and strength training (e.g., tug of war, climbing a tree, or working with Thera bands)If the answer is “yes,” then move to G OR if it is not clearly stated and in doubt:flag for discussion
