| Abstract: | Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors such as spending too many hours sitting and inadequate physical activity (PA) can contribute to different chronic diseases. Research has revealed the capabilities of digital technology interventions such as persuasive technologies (PTs) for providing health support and encouraging healthy behavior changes to assist people in preventing chronic diseases and having healthier lifestyles. Thus, the use of mobile technology to deliver PT interventions has dramatically increased, especially for promoting PA and reducing sedentary behavior (SB) by employing various persuasive strategies (PSs). This paper provides a systematic review of 16 years of research from 2006 to 2021. The review aims to (1) explore the various ways each strategy is implemented on mobile-based PTs for PA and SB, (2) evaluate the effectiveness of different ways of implementing the PSs on mobile-based PT interventions for PA and SB, (3) provide a comparison of the different ways of implementing each PS, (4) show the weaknesses and strengths of the interventions based on the strategies and implementations, (5) highlight the limitations and pitfalls of the existing research, and (6) give recommendations and directions for future research.
