Overview

Experimental study demonstrates improved cognitive performance in adolescents with smartphone addiction through exercise, suggesting beneficial interventions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how acute aerobic exercise affects cognitive performance and brain activity in adolescents with smartphone addiction.
  • Randomized controlled experimental design with 40 male adolescents experiencing smartphone addiction.
  • Participants assigned to either acute aerobic exercise or a control group (neutral reading condition).
  • Cognitive performance measured using the Stroop task and the 2-back task.
  • EEG recorded brain electrical activity to analyze changes in power of α, β, and θ waves.
  • Improvements in accuracy and reaction time in the Stroop and 2-back tasks for the experimental group (p < 0.001).
  • EEG analysis showed increased α and β wave power in prefrontal, central, and parietal regions (p < 0.001).
  • θ wave power significantly decreased in prefrontal and central regions (p < 0.05).
