The bidirectional modulation of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive performance and brain electrical activity in adolescents with smartphone addiction: an experimental study using EEG power spectrum analysis

Acute aerobic exercise significantly enhanced the cognitive performance of adolescents with smartphone addiction, particularly in attention and working memory tasks. EEG analysis indicated that exercise optimized the cognitive control network by enhancing α and β wave power and suppressing θ wave power. These findings provide empirical support for exercise interventions to improve cognitive deficits in adolescents with smartphone addiction.
