| description | Interventions to promote physical activity (PA) are interesting alternatives to other specific treatments to improve health, even though not all of them are based on psychological theories, which would favor adherence and maintenance of such habit. A systematic review of studies on psychological interventions to promote PA conducted during the last 10 years was carried out. The searches were made in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Redalyc, ScienceDirect and Scielo. Of the 491 articles found, 13 met the selected criteria. All, except one, reported improvements in psychological variables, with nine demonstrating significant increases in levels of PA. Only six studies included long-term follow-up. It is possible to promote PA through psychological interventions, however, the scarcity of studies with Spanish-speaking populations and the variability of methods used suggest the need for further research on the subject. |

Las intervenciones para promover actividad física (AF) resultan alternativas interesantes a otros tratamientos para mejorar la salud, aunque no siempre están fundamentadas en teorías psicológicas, lo que favorecería la adherencia y mantenimiento de dicho hábito. Este trabajo se propuso revisar sistemáticamente las investigaciones de los últimos diez años, incluyendo aquellas hispanoparlantes, sobre la eficacia de intervenciones psicológicas para favorecer la adherencia a la AF. Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed, Scopus, Redalyc, ScienceDirect y Scielo. De los 491 artículos hallados, 12 cumplieron los criterios seleccionados. Todos, excepto uno, registraron mejoras en variables psicológicas, siendo ocho los que evidenciaron aumentos significativos en los niveles de AF. Solo seis estudios incluyeron seguimiento a largo plazo. Es posible promover la AF mediante intervenciones psicológicas, empero, la escasez de estudios con población de habla hispana y la variabilidad de métodos utilizados sugieren la necesidad de continuar investigando la temática.
