title: [Quality Criteria for the Conception, Implementation and Evaluation of Interventions for Physical Activity Promotion: A State-Of-The-Art Review].
abstract: The success of an intervention for physical activity promotion depends not only on the use of an evidence-based approach, but also on the quality of its implementation in practice. Based on current recommendations from scientists and public health institutions, this state-of-the-art review summarizes the quality criteria for the conception, implementation and evaluation of interventions.A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed and Scopus. Additionally, guidelines from relevant public health institutions were identified via search engines and websites from governmental and nongovernmental organizations. Based on the analysis of selected documents, quality criteria were listed, grouped and categorized.24 documents, published between 2005 and 2015, provided quality criteria for interventions for physical activity promotion. From the selected documents, 18 quality criteria were defined (conception: 7, implementation: 7, evaluation: 4).This review provides evidence on the relevance of quality criteria within certain stages of an intervention. Future studies could compare the effect of quality criteria on the success of an intervention, or approach the topic from a health-economic perspective.
