“…However, Lee et al (2021) stated that cell phones can hinder classroom learning. However, Gikas and Grant (2013) state that when used appropriately, mobile devices and the use of social media create opportunities for interaction, provide opportunities for collaboration and allow students to engage in content creation and communication using social media with the help of constant connectivity, although Xiang et al (2023) argue that with limited use.…”

The technological age dragged other fields to use technology, including video games. As a result, video games are increasingly popular with school children, especially elementary school children. Even though teachers are the front line to divert children's attention from playing games to learning animations, the teacher working group of Rayon 18 South Sulawesi has limitations in making interesting videos even though they have carried out several activities. Therefore, empowering teachers is a solution to apply research results by participating in training to make learning animation videos using the assessment as a learning approach. The activity was attended by 35 elementary school teachers from the rayon for one day with three sessions. The direction of the line of training participants' understanding ability increases where the post-test score is higher than the pre-test. The correlation between questions shows a consistent increase. Likewise, this increases teacher skills in installing applications, applying video applications to create videos, and increasing teacher skills in creating animated learning videos. Teachers feel satisfied receiving the benefits of taking part in training in making learning animation videos. Therefore, teachers can increase creativity by creating learning animation videos so students are more interested and focused on learning.

“…In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic experienced in the last two years has had a major influence on the decline in the physical activity levels (Elnaggar et al, 2022 ; Yomoda & Kurita, 2021 ), deteriorating physical fitness (López-Bueno et al, 2021 ), and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (AMD) (Sánchez-Sánchez et al, 2020 ), while also increasing the variables related to fat mass (Karatzi et al, 2021 ), as well as the increased use of new technologies by adolescents (Ventura et al, 2021 ). Among the new technologies most widely used in this population, mobile phones stand out as being commonly associated with mental disorders and sedentary behavior in adolescents (Fanchang et al, 2021 ; Xiang et al, 2021 ), as well as poorer peer relationships and academic performance (Legkauskas & Steponavičiūtė-Kupčinskė, 2021 ). However, mobile phones also offers a multitude of possibilities for the establishment of healthy lifestyle habits, among which mobile applications stand out (Groen et al, 2022 ; Kracht et al, 2021 ).…”

Mandatory after-school use of step tracker apps improves physical activity, body composition and fitness of adolescents

et al. 2023

Previous scientific research on the use of mobile applications to increase physical activity level and improve health among adolescents does not provide conclusive results, one of the main reasons being the lack of adherence to the intervention after the first weeks. For this reason, the main objectives of the research were to determine the changes produced by a compulsory ten-week period of after-school intervention with mobile step-tracking applications on adolescents’ health; and the final objective to compare the benefits obtained by each of the mobile applications. To meet the objectives, a longitudinal study with non-probability convenience sampling was proposed. The sample consisted of 400 adolescents from two public compulsory secondary schools in the Region of Murcia, Spain, whose body composition, level of physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and physical fitness were measured. The SPSS statistical software was used for statistical analysis. The results showed that adolescents in the experimental group showed a higher level of physical activity and better body composition and physical fitness variables after the intervention compared to the control group, with differences between the different applications used. In conclusion, this research shows the usefulness of mobile applications if they are used in a compulsory way after school hours. The relevance of these results for policymakers lies in the fact that they provide statistical data on the usefulness of mobile applications as an educational resource, being an option to make up for the lack of sufficient physical education teaching hours to meet global physical activity recommendations.

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that psychological guidance can moderately reduce media use [ 12 , 13 ], and physical activity may serve as an important intervention by promoting rest and regulation of brain cells, as well as compassionate student exercise. While a few studies have examined the relationship between physical exercise and internet addiction [ 14 – 16 ], several limitations must be taken into account when interpreting the current findings: (1) The majority of subjects resided in single regions, or even in the same schools, neglecting the significant disparities across various regions in China. (2) The proliferation of smart devices has resulted in the integration of multiple electronic media which is having a considerable impact on adolescents.…”

Objective With the prevalence of electronic media use among Chinese adolescents and concerns regarding its potential negative consequences on their health and development, this study investigated the relationship between physical exercise and electronic media use. Utilizing data from the China Education Panel Survey, we examine the impact of physical activity on adolescents’ electronic media use. Methods A simultaneous equation model, including two-stage least square and three-stage least square, was employed to estimate the impact of physical activity on electronic media use among adolescents. Self-control theory and media addiction theory were also used to analyze electronic media use in adolescents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyzed the data. Results Chinese adolescents dedicated a substantial amount of time, averaging 2.95 hours per day, to electronic media activities. Increasing physical activity demonstrated an effective means to reduce electronic media use. Furthermore, the impact of physical activity on electronic media use exhibited urban-rural stratification, with family factors related to social class status primarily influencing electronic media use among urban students, while physical activity has a more pronounced influence among rural students. Conclusions Promoting physical activity represents a compelling and effective strategy for curbing excessive electronic media use among Chinese adolescents, particularly in rural areas where physical activity has a stronger influence. In addition, controlling media entertainment and recreation time and enhancing social cohesion can help to weaken media interest. While changing the social class status of families in urban areas may be difficult in the short term, parents should be aware that physical exercise is an effective way to reduce their children’s use of electronic media. Our findings suggested that promoting physical activity may be a promising strategy for reducing excessive electronic media use among Chinese adolescents, particularly in rural areas where physical activity has a stronger influence.
