Effectiveness of outdoor fitness equipment intervention on health outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Zhi-Yuan Tang e outros, 2026 · Frontiers in Public Health
A meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials found that outdoor fitness equipment exercise interventions significantly improved cardiorespiratory fitness compared to inactive controls (SMD = 0.53).

Meta-analysis results indicated that OFE intervention was effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness compared to controls (SMD = 0.53; 95% CI (0.25 to 0.82); p < 0.001; Figure 2).
Contexto
What changed: Structured exercise programmes using outdoor fitness equipment installed in public parks were delivered for 6 to 16 weeks. Comparison: Non-active control participants maintaining habitual daily routines. Limits: Evidence is limited to four small RCTs with varied exercise protocols and differing measurement tests.
