Summary

This study tested whether short, intense exercise breaks—called 'exercise snacks'—could help teens reduce their mobile phone addiction. Over 5 months, 386 adolescents either did quick exercises like sprints or squats during school breaks or continued their usual routine. The goal was to see if these mini-workouts could lower phone addiction scores and improve fitness, self-control, and resilience.
