“…Physical activity is widely acknowledged as an effective practice for consolidating and recovering physiological and psychological resources (Bulley et al, 2009;Bloodworth et al, 2012;Li et al, 2009). Following the third principle of COR theory, engaging in physical activity enlarges users' stockpiles of available resources, which can alleviate the severity of the health consequences induced by resource depletion and acquisition (Halbesleben et al, 2014;Hobfoll, 1989).…”

“…Given the potential moderating influence of physical activity, it nevertheless remains unclear how physical activity mitigates the effects of mobile application usage on users' physiological and psychological health. Despite the assertion that physical activity is beneficial for consolidating and recovering users' resource stockpiles by enhancing their physical fitness and regulating their moods from the standpoint of COR theory (Bloodworth et al, 2012;Bulley et al, 2009;Li, Lu, & Wang, 2009), another stream of research alleges that engaging in physical activity could aggravate one's fatigue by consuming physical energy (Schmaling et al, 2005). This study hence endeavors to elucidate the moderating influence of physical activity by answering the research question below:…”

Numerous studies have documented adverse consequences arising from increased technology usage and advocated for a reduction in such usage as a plausible remedy. However, such recommendations are often infeasible and oversimplistic given mounting evidence attesting to users’ growing reliance on technology in both their personal and professional lives. Building on conservation of resources (COR) theory, we construct a research model to explain how mobile application usage, as delineated by its breadth and depth, affects users’ nomophobia and sleep deprivation, which can have negative impacts on users’ health status. We also consider the moderating influence of physical activity in mitigating the effects of mobile application usage on users’ health. We validated our hypotheses via data collected by surveying 5,842 respondents. Empirical findings reveal that (1) nomophobia is positively influenced by mobile application usage breadth but negatively influenced by mobile application usage depth, (2) sleep deprivation is negatively influenced by mobile application usage breadth but positively influenced by mobile application usage depth, and (3) sleep deprivation and nomophobia negatively impact users’ health status, whereas (4) physical activity attenuates the impact of mobile application usage on sleep deprivation but not nomophobia. The findings from this study not only enrich the extant literature on the health outcomes of mobile application usage by unveiling the impact of mobile application usage patterns and physical activity on users’ health but they also inform practitioners on how calibrating usage breadth and depth, along with encouraging physical activity, can promote healthy habits among users.

“…As the transition to University life is associated with a sudden change of the lifestyles of the students to a more independent at the same time, a more responsible one, there might be a psychological burden on the students to cope up with this transition (Greene et al, 2011;Kuruppuarachchi et al, 2002;Nguyen-Michel, Unger, Hamilton & Spruijt-Metz, 2006;Bray & Kwan, 2006;Bulley et al, 2009). Self-esteem is significantly positively associated with academic performance during university life and academic and social adjustment during transition to university life (Friedlander et al, 2007;Rosli et al, 2012).…”

Participation in physical activities and sports has been identified as a factor, that influence self-esteem positively. However, other studies have shown that exercise only increased self-esteem with respect to body image. Many studies have focused on the effect of a particular exercise routine on self-esteem rather than physical activity in general. This study focused on identifying the effect of volume of physical activities on self-esteem among undergraduates of a private University in Colombo. A descriptive cross sectional study was designed with a sample size of 61 undergraduates recruited through snowball sampling. The self-administered International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Short form), Rosenberg selfesteem scale and demographic data questionnaire along with an information sheet, consent form and debrief form was sent online to undergraduates of a private University in Colombo. The mean age of the sample was 21.62 (2.2). The majority of the sample were minimally active (62.3%) and the mean volume of total energy expenditure was 1356 MET min/week which is below the HEPA category. The majority of the sample had a high level of self-esteem (82%). A binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to examine the impact of BMI, total time spent in sitting and total volume of energy spent, on the level of self-esteem. The model accounted for only 18.3%-30.0% of variance in outcome. However, only total volume of energy spent showed a significant impact on predicting the level of self-esteem (Wald= 5.20, p<0.05). The odds of having a high self-esteem decreased with the total volume of energy spent. The undergraduates had a relatively good physical activity level and self-esteem. However, with the increase of volume of physical activity, self-esteem decreased significantly. Further research should be carried out to confirm the effect of body-esteem , body dissatisfaction, type of exercise, frequency of exercise, gender or other variables to decipher this relationship.

Negotiations between health and social goals over the lifespan: The role of future time perspective

The interplay between health and social goals in relation to age and future time perspective was examined among 131 older and 131 younger adults via surveys and future time manipulations (limited, unchanged, and expansive). Being older was associated with weaker physical activity intentions and social activity intentions as mediated by a limited future time perspective. Physical activity intentions decreased in the limited condition and increased in the expansive condition, social activity intentions increased in all conditions, and preference toward health (over social) goals decreased in both the limited and expansive conditions. The results suggest that anticipated endings may become salient in all conditions and favor social goals, which are emotionally relevant.
