Abstract
BACKGROUND

Sport help promote healthy physical and mental development of high school students. To date, there have been few studies on the effect of sport on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency of high school students.

AIM

To explore the effects of sports on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction of high school students.

METHODS

A stratified random sampling method was used to select 600 students from two high schools in Lhasa, and Physical Activity Rating Scale, School Adjustment Scale for High School Students, Chinese Adolescents Resilience Scale, and Mobile Phone Addiction Index were used for field questionnaire survey.

RESULTS

Sport was positively correlated with school adaptability and resilience (P < 0.01), school adaptability was positively correlated with resilience (P < 0.01) and cell phone addiction was negatively correlated with sports, school adaptability and resilience (P < 0.01). The direct effect of sport on cell phone addiction was significant (P < 0.001), accounting for 20.51% of the total effect. The mediating effect of school adaptability on sport and cell phone addiction was significant (P < 0.001), accounting for 17.38% and 35.36% of the total effect value, respectively. School adjustment and resilience had a significant chain-mediated effect on sport and cell phone addiction (P < 0.001), accounting for 26.75% of the total effect.

CONCLUSION

Sport affected the cell phone addiction tendency of senior high school students through the mediating effect of school adaptability and resilience, and through the chain mediation effect of both.

Key Words: Sport, High school students, School adaptability, Resilience, Cell phone addiction

Core Tip: Sport is beneficial to the development of heart and lung function and motor system, and can develop physical strength and promote mental health. This study analyzed the questionnaire data of 560 high school students’ sporting activity, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency. By constructing a chain mediation model, the relationship between sport and school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency was obtained, providing a theoretical basis for the physical and mental health development of high school students.



INTRODUCTION

High school students are in a stage of growth and development, and sport plays a particularly important role in promoting their physical and mental health[1]. However, many high school students neglect sport because they study all day under academic pressure or are addicted to their cell phones[2,3]. The decline in sport could have a negative effect on physical and mental health of high school students[4]. Sport can improve high school students’ adaptability to school, which can promote interpersonal relations and enthusiasm for learning[5]. Sport can enhance the resilience of high school students, and help them to face the pressure and difficulties brought by school life with a more positive and optimistic attitude[6]. Sport is also linked to lower levels of cell phone addiction among senior high school students[7]. Although many studies have shown that sport has an impact on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction of adolescent students[8-11], few studies have combined sport with these other aspects in high school students. Therefore, by establishing the amount of sport of high school students, we analyzed the relationship between sport and senior high school students’ school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency. We also discussed the influence of sport on high school students’ school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Research object

From March to June 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted among students from two high schools in Lhasa using stratified random sampling. A total of 600 students were selected according to different grades, and 200 in each grade were selected. The mean age was 16.56 years ± 1.01 years. There were 320 male students (53.33%) with an average age of 16.58 years ± 1.0 years. There were 280 female students (46.67%) with an average age of 16.53 years ± 1.04 years. We included senior grade one, two and three students, and students gave informed consent to complete the questionnaire. We excluded students with poor physical and mental health, and those who were unable to cooperate with the questionnaire. This study is in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.

Questionnaire

The questionnaire was conducted with the consent of the students, their parents and the school. Before the test, a mental health professional instructed the students to fill in the questionnaire according to their own situation. After filling in the questionnaire, it was recovered immediately. Six hundred questionnaires were sent out, and 560 (93.33%) were collected.

Research tools

Physical activity rating scale: The Physical Activity scale modified by Liang et al[12] was adopted, which measured sport from three dimensions of participation; namely time, intensity and frequency. Score = sport intensity score “(sport time score-1)” sport frequency score. Each dimension was divided into five grades, scoring 1-5 points. Scores ranged from 0 to 100: Low level of sport ≤ 19 points; level 20-42 points, and high level ≥ 43 points. Cronbach’s α was 0.82.

School adjustment scale: We used Hou et al[13] School Adjustment Scale for Senior High School Students. The scale consisted of 82 items, including seven dimensions of academic adjustment, peer relationship, school attitude, class activity adjustment, emotional adjustment, conflict in teacher-student relationship, and intimacy of teacher-student relationship. A 5-point Likert 5 scale was used. Scores ranged from 1 to 5. All dimensions were added together to obtain the School Adaptation Score. A higher total score indicated better school adaptability. Cronbach’s α was 0.964.

Resilience scale for Chinese adolescents: Hu et al[14] compiled the Resilience Scale for Chinese adolescents. The scale consisted of 27 items, including five dimensions: Goal focus, positive cognition, emotional control, family support, and interpersonal assistance. The scale used a 5-point Likert scoring method. Scores ranged from 1 to 5, and a higher total score indicated greater resilience. Cronbach’s α was 0.86.

Mobile phone addiction index: The Mobile Phone Addiction Index was compiled by Leung[15]. There were 17 items, including four dimensions: Loss of control, withdrawal, inefficiency and escape. A 5-point Likert scoring method was used. Scores ranged from 1 to 5, and a score < 34 was considered to show no cell phone addiction, 34-51 mild addiction, 52-68 addiction, and 68-85 severe addiction. Cronbach’s α was 0.90.

Statistical analysis

SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistics, t test, analysis of variance, and correlation analysis were conducted on the collected data, and PROCESS was used to test the mediating effect. The statistical significance was P < 0.05.

RESULTS
Essential features of senior high school sport

The total score for level of sport in high school students was 16 (6, 30) points (Table 1). The level of sport of high school students was mostly in the low sport level, accounting for 59.29% of the total number.

Among the 560 high school students participating in the survey 332 (59.29%) had a low level of sport, 144 (25.71%) had a medium level, and 84 (15%) had a high level (Table 1). Among the 300 male students, 157 (52.33%) had a low level of sport, 82 (27.33%) had a medium level, and 61 (20.34%) had a high level. Among the 260 female students, 175 (67.31%) had a low level of sport, 62 (23.85%) had a medium level, and 23 (8.84%) had a high level. Among the 184 senior grade 1 high school students, 107 (58.15%) had a low level of sport, 53 (24.81%) had a medium level, and 24 (13.04%) had a high level. Among the 192 senior grade two students, 115 (59.90%) had a low level of sport, 46 (23.96%) had a medium level, and 31 (16.14%) had a high level. Among the 184 senior grade 3 students, 110 (59.78%) had a low level of sport, 45 (24.46%) had a medium level, and 29 (15.76%) had a high level.

Specific analysis of different levels of sports in senior high school sports

As shown in Tables 3-5, there was no significant difference in gender and grade among high school students of low, medium and high sports levels (P > 0.05), indicating that there was no gender and grade difference between high school students at the same sports level. Therefore, the following analysis was performed in three groups of high school students at low, medium and high sports levels to analyze resilience, school adaptability and cell phone addiction tendency.

DISCUSSION

We used a field questionnaire survey to collect data on the level of sport, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency of senior high school students. Through correlation analysis, a chain mediation effect model was constructed to deeply analyze the influence of sports on school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency of senior high school students.

The overall level of sport of high school students reached the medium level, and the level of sport differed significantly by gender, but not by grade. In terms of school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency, there were significant differences among low, medium and high levels of sport. There was a positive correlation between level of sport, school adaptability and resilience, and a negative correlation between cell phone addiction and level of sport, school adaptability and resilience. Level of sport had a significant direct effect on cell phone addiction, and school adaptability had a significant mediating effect on level of sport and cell phone addiction. There was a significant mediating effect of resilience between level of sport and cell phone addiction. School adjustment and resilience had significant chain-mediated effects between level of sport and cell phone addiction. Previous studies have shown a significant positive correlation between level of sport and school adaptability[16]. This shows that sports can enhance high school students’ adaptability to school, help them establish good interpersonal relationships in school, promote their physical and mental health, and better adapt to the school environment. Similarly, other results show that there is a significant positive correlation between sport and resilience[17], indicating that increasing level of sport is the key to improving the resilience of senior high school students[18]. There was also a significant positive correlation between school adaptability and resilience, indicating that high school students with stronger school adaptability had greater resilience. This is conducive for high school students to cope with various difficulties and setbacks encountered in school or life, and to better complete their studies and develop their social ability in the future[19]. A previous study has shown that sports have a significant negative correlation with cell phone addiction tendency of college students[20], and the results of this study show that sports have a significant negative correlation with cell phone addiction tendency of high school students, which is similar to the results of the present study, indicating that sports can indeed improve the extent of cell phone addiction of senior high school students[21]. Sport can enhance the interpersonal interaction between high school students and their peers, teachers and parents, thus enriching their emotional and social needs, so as to reduce the need to use cell phones for social interaction, thereby preventing cell phone addiction[22]. Analysis of the chain mediation effect model of sport, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction showed that the increase in level of sport improved school adaptability of high school students, and their level of resilience, and reduced their cell phone addiction tendency. Increased level of sport also improved high school students’ adaptability or resilience, and reduced their cell phone addiction tendency. Improvement of school adaptability is accompanied by improvement of resilience, which can ultimately reduce cell phone addiction tendency of high school students. Therefore, in order to better develop the mental and physical health of high school students, schools should raise awareness of the importance of sport. Schools should strengthen sports facilities, provide professional guidance and management of sporting activities, and formulate relevant policies to ensure participation in sport, to help high school students participate in school life in a positive manner, eliminate negative emotions, and enhance ability to withstand pressure. Meanwhile, high school students can reduce their dependence on cell phones and improve their physical and mental development[23].

This study had some limitations. The study sample was not comprehensive enough to represent all high school students, so the results have some limitations. The questionnaire survey was a cross-sectional study, which lacked longitudinal data and follow-up survey. The longitudinal data and follow-up survey can be combined to further study the relationship between high school students’ level of sport, school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency, so as to research on the influence of enriching sports on high school students’ school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency[24,25].

CONCLUSION

Sport can directly affect school adaptability, resilience and cell phone addiction tendency of senior high school students. Sport can affect cell phone addiction tendency through the mediating effect of school adaptability and resilience, and through the chain mediation effect of both.
