- Umbrella review examined maintenance interventions post-exercise therapy for chronic conditions.
- Three intervention types: digital, in-person, and mixed delivery modes.
- Digital interventions showed beneficial effects on subjective physical activity (low certainty).
- Mixed interventions improved health-related quality of life, objective PA, and physical function (low to moderate certainty).
- No or inconsistent effects found for fitness, adverse events, hospitalization, and return-to-work.
- Evidence quality generally low; higher-quality studies needed.
