Evidence identified

Twenty-seven reviews were identified (published from 2016 to 2019) that examined the association between physical activity and health-related outcomes among people with impairments (Table F1.1) (138). Each of the reviews focused on different subpopulations with impairments including four reviews that included people with multiple sclerosis, no reviews among people with a spinal cord injury, two reviews among children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities including Down syndrome, three reviews among older adults with Parkinson’s disease, 12 reviews included people with a history of stroke, two reviews including people with major clinical depression, 3 reviews among adults with schizophrenia, and one among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Table F1.1).

The primary outcomes for each review varied according to the population of interest. For instance, measures of physical function were most commonly reported for reviews of exercise interventions among adults with a history of stroke whereas measures of cognition were most commonly reported for the reviews among children with ADHD. None of the reviews included evidence published in 2019; most reviews included evidence published through 2017. The included bodies of evidence for each review was relatively small ranging from 3 to 39 included studies. Three reviews were reviews-of-reviews and synthesized the evidence from existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Extracted data for each review is included in Appendix A. A summary of the U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines evidence for people with common chronic conditions is provided within each Evidence Profile.

In general, these reviews had many limitations in their design, execution, and reporting. None of the systematic reviews were rated as having high credibility based on the AMSTAR 2 instrument. Ten were rated as having moderate credibility, 14 were rated as having low credibility, and the remaining 12 were rated as having critically low credibility. Given concerns regarding the comprehensiveness and the validity of the results presented in reviews rated as having critically low credibility, they were not incorporated into the final Evidence Profiles. Table F1.2 presents the ratings for each review according to all the AMSTAR 2 main domains. Two additional reviews were excluded given the scope or focus of the reviews (7, 17). The paper by Christiansen 2019 (7) is not a systematic review and the review by Hendrey (2018) (17) was excluded given the research question (do resistance training interventions that have been studied among patients with a history of stroke adhere to American College of Sports Medicine guidelines?).
