Physical Activity, Seasonality, and Weather Indices: A Scoping Review of Research with Device-based Measures of Physical Activity

Kelsey Bittel

Environmental influences such as seasonality have been shown to impact physical activity (PA), and recent advances in technology have made it easier to measure PA in real-time. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the impact of seasons and weather on device-based measurements of physical activity. 63 relevant articles were identified from 558. Winter and precipitation were consistently associated with lower PA. Weather and seasons must be considered when designing PA interventions.
