Electronic forms of entertainment in the context of physical activity and addiction risk – a knowledge review

Abstract

A new way of spending leisure time browsing the Internet, using social networking sites, and playing games has created a new health problem: cell phone addiction. So-called phonoholism or netholism is most thriving among young people, who prioritize entertainment in the real world, which most often necessitates physical activity, over entertainment in the virtual world, which requires a more static approach. However, some companies have gone against the traditional use of phone games by creating multimedia city games that require a dynamic-movement approach.
 The aim of this review is to gather current theoretical knowledge about electronic forms of entertainment in the context of their influence on users' physical activity, creation of health potential and formation of risk of addiction to such forms of entertainment.

Another advantage of including young adults in the study is the fact that they can be guided toward a more active lifestyle, if this is not already the case.…”

“…Technological advancement facilitates human progress in broader aspects. It has changed the way of our lifestyle in different domains such as health (Ahorsu et al, 2020;Rajabi et al, 2020;Renu, 2021), entertainment (Grajek, 2022;Renu, 2021), and commerce (Beer and Mulder, 2020;Jongwanich et al, 2022;Renu, 2021).
