The impact of physical activity on internet addiction among college students: the chain mediation role of rumination and mindfulness
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between physical activity and internet addiction among 1,019 Chinese college students, analyzing the mediating roles of rumination and mindfulness. The research identifies a chain mediation pathway where physical activity reduces internet addiction risk by decreasing negative cognitive processing and enhancing attentional regulation. The findings support integrating physical activity with cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies in prevention programs for higher education settings.
