Smartphone addiction (SA) is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study is to determine the level of SA in athletes affiliated to the Turkish Handball Federation in Izmir and to examine its relationship with factors such as sociodemographic status, health status, eating attitude, and body perception. This cross-sectional study was conducted in March–April 2021 in Izmir Province. The sample of the study consisted of 212 licensed handball athletes. The short SA scale, three-factor nutrition scale, and body perception scale were used. A chi-square test was used for bivariate comparisons and logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate comparisons. The study was completed with 202 individuals (the coverage rate was 95.3%). The prevalence of SA was found to be 27.7%. The risk of SA increased 2.49-fold (CI: 1.17–5.31, p = 0.018) in female participants, 2.01-fold (CI: 1.01–4.06, p = 0.048) in participants with alcohol use, 2.17-fold (CI: 1.04–4.58, p = 0.042) in participants with low nutritional scores, 2.65-fold (CI: 1.15–6.10, p = 0.022) in individuals with high-income status, and 2.66-fold (CI: 1.07–6.64, p = 0.036) in individuals with high body perception scale score. In total, 27.7% of the athlete sample had scores above the SA threshold. These results point out that a behavioral addiction such as SA can occur even in professionals of an activity such as sports, known for beneficial effects in terms of healthy life.

“…A baixa pontuação para o item "satisfação consigo próprio", entra no campo da análise subjetiva e semelha estar relacionado com a presença da ansiedade que aumenta a insatisfação pessoal (DI RENZO et al, 2020). Se for levado em consideração o item: "satisfação consigo próprio" e associar-se a aspecto da imagem corporal, observa-se que indivíduos universitários do sexo feminino tiveram aumento da massa corporal o que promove percepção negativa de satisfação durante o período de confinamento (GOICOCHEA et al, 2022).…”

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a influência do isolamento social (IS) nos hábitos, nível de atividade física (NAF) e qualidade de vida (QV) da população universitária localizada no sudoeste do estado de Goiás durante a pandemia do coronavírus. Participaram 258 acadêmicos da Universidade Federal de Jataí (UFJ), Goiás, Brasil. Para a coleta de dados foi enviado via e-mail Google Forms ® questões sociodemográficas, hábitos de vida, presença de doenças e dados antropométricos. Para o NAF utilizou-se International Physical Activity Questionnaire -Short Form (IPAQ-SF), e a QV o Europe Health Interview Surveys Quality of Life-8, os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva e inferencial, com p<0,05. Predominou a participação de mulheres (n=177; 68,6%). Observou-se prevalência de ansiedade no sexo feminino (p = 0,001). Na QV, a população feminina teve associação com percepção ruim/regular sobre satisfação na capacidade de desempenhar as atividades diárias (p=0,01), satisfação consigo próprio (p=0,04), energia suficiente para seu dia a dia (p=0,001). Observou-se associação entre ansiedade e baixo nível de AF, e menor classificação de QV quando comparado com indivíduos não ansiosos. Houve correlação negativa entre a QV e a idade (r=-0,14; p=0,02) e entre QV e massa corporal (r=-0,15; p = 0,01). Conclui-se que a população universitária submetida a IS demonstrou ansiedade e redução em indicadores de qualidade de vida impactando de forma negativa a saúde.

“…Experts strongly recommend maintaining an active lifestyle during quarantine, as much as possible in conditions of limited movement, following the usual daily routine, and staying physically active. Physical activity is an important component of disease prevention, strengthening the immune system, and improving its ability to respond to pathogens [17]. People who regularly performed moderate physical activity had a much higher chance of a mild course of the disease in case of coronavirus infection.…”

The aim: To study the dynamics of students’ physical well-being and physical fitness during the quarantine restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods: The research involved 263 students (148 men and 115 women) aged 18-20. Depending on the volume of physical activity performed by students during quarantine restrictions, they were divided into three groups (with sufficient, high, and low volume). The physical well-being of students was determined by the method proposed by Ye. A. Pyrohova. The level of physical fitness was determined by the results of students’ performance of the exercises. Results: The most pronounced negative changes in physical well-being indicators were found in group C students (both men and women), whose volume of motor activity during quarantine restrictions was low. Among the physical qualities, the level of endurance of students was the most negatively affected. Conclusions: It was found that physical exercises have a positive effect on students’ physical well-being during quarantine restrictions. The rational use of physical education makes it possible to mobilize the reserve motor capabilities of the students’ body, offset the negative impact of low motor activity and sedentary lifestyle during quarantine restrictions, and help maintain the physical well-being and level of physical fitness at the proper level.
