Summary

This study investigates whether a structured 12-week badminton program can reduce smartphone addiction in adolescents aged 14-18. Thirty high school students are randomly assigned to either the badminton group (6 sessions per week) or a control group that continues normal activities. The trial measures changes in smartphone addiction scores and explores how the sport may improve self-regulation and social connection.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
structured badminton program
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a drug-free, sport-based approach to help teens reduce smartphone dependency and improve self-control.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intensive program (6 sessions/week) may be hard to sustain in real life.
