High school students are in an important stage of physical development. Sport can promote the healthy physical and mental development of high school students, help them adapt to the school environment, relieve study pressure, reduce the level of stress, and reduce cell phone addiction, which are important for healthy physical and mental development.
This study investigated the influence of sport on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction, to establish whether their relationship had a positive impact on the physical and mental development of high school students.
We investigated the relationship between sport and school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency in high school students, and the mediating effect of sport was tested. We hope that this study can strengthen high school students’ participation in sport, and indicate new ways for improving school adaptability and resilience and reducing cell phone addiction tendency.
We collected data using a field questionnaire survey and SPSS was used to analyze the collected data on the effect of sport, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency in senior high school students. Through correlation analysis, a chain mediation effect model was constructed to analyze the influence of sport on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency of high school students.
Sport, school adaptability and resilience were positively correlated, while cell phone addiction was negatively correlated with sport, school adaptability and resilience, and sport affected the other three through the chain mediation model. The results provide a theoretical basis for further research combined with longitudinal research.
We conclude that sport has an impact on school adaptability, cell phone addiction tendency and resilience of high school students.
We analyzed the effect of sport on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency in high school students. In future research, longitudinal research and follow-up can be combined to analyze the relationship among level of sport, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency.
