First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether doing quick, intense exercises—like 1-minute sprints or squats—during school breaks can help teenagers reduce their mobile phone addiction. Over 5 months, 386 adolescents either did these "exercise snacks" or continued their normal routine. The goal was to see if this approach lowers phone addiction scores, boosts physical fitness, and improves self-control and resilience.
