Abstract

Background: Smartphone addiction is a growing concern, especially among adolescents, due to its negative impact on health. This study examines how leisure physical activity influence this relationship.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between smartphone addiction and adolescent health, examining the mediating role of loneliness and the moderating effect of leisure physical activity.

Methods: A survey of 1271 Chinese university students was conducted using the PAPS Health and Fitness Scale, Smartphone Addiction Scale, and Leisure Time Exercise Scale.

Results: Smartphone addiction negatively affects adolescent health. Loneliness mediates this relationship, while leisure physical activity moderates it. High levels of physical activity reduce the negative impact of loneliness on health (bsimple = -0.49, P < 0.001), whereas low levels enhance this impact (bsimple = -0.21, P < 0.001).

Conclusion: These research have practical implications for preventing and reducing smartphone addiction and offer a theoretical foundation for promoting healthier lifestyles among adolescents.

智能手机成瘾对青少年健康的影响：休闲体育活动的调节作用。

背景由于智能手机成瘾对健康的负面影响，人们越来越关注智能手机成瘾问题，尤其是在青少年中。本研究探讨了休闲体育活动如何影响这种关系：本研究旨在探讨智能手机成瘾与青少年健康之间的关系，研究孤独感的中介作用和休闲体育活动的调节作用：方法：采用PAPS健康与体质量表、智能手机成瘾量表和闲暇锻炼量表对1271名中国大学生进行调查：结果：智能手机成瘾对青少年健康有负面影响。结果：智能手机成瘾会对青少年健康产生负面影响，孤独感是这种关系的中介，而闲暇体育锻炼则会调节这种关系。高水平的体育锻炼可降低孤独感对健康的负面影响（bsimple = -0.49，P < 0.001），而低水平的体育锻炼则会增强这种影响（bsimple = -0.21，P < 0.001）：这些研究对预防和减少智能手机成瘾具有实际意义，并为在青少年中推广更健康的生活方式提供了理论基础。
