"Health benefits of viewing nature through windows: A meta-analysis"

Very interesting question, but questionable methodological quality

- All psychological outcomes are mixed
- No multilevel meta-analysis
- No information about 'intervention

Next step : we need to find collaborators to perform network analyses with our EMA data.

Global hypothesis : Physical activity is a network intervention

Finally, we explored the effect of our intervention daily self-efficacy to be active

"A significant increase of self-efficacy for PA has been found for 9 participants during and/or after the intervention phase. Different temporal patterns of self-efficacy were observed during those phases"

Complex effects on #sleep quality

"A significant 📈 of sleep quality was observed
in 9 participants with moderate to large effects. However, the intervention had a moderate and significant negative effect on the sleep quality in 2 patients"

-A remote PA intervention is an effective strategy for the treatment of severe psychological distress

- Nof1 coupled with EMA is a solid method to observe the fluctuation of mental health symptoms

- PA benefits on mental health symptoms are not immediate but gradual
