Effect of 'activity monitor-based' counseling on physical activity and health-related outcomes in patients with chronic diseases: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Pooled analysis showed that activity monitor-based counseling resulted in a significantly greater improvement in PA compared to control intervention or usual care in DMII, and these interventions had a beneficial effect on hemoglobin A1c, systolic blood pressure, and body mass index in patients with DMII.
