Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of the resistance exercise and aerobic exercise on depression, anxiety, sleep, inhibitory control in young adult with smartphone overdependence

Conditions

Exercise; Smartphone Addiction; Sleep; Inhibition; Mood

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• sleep duration

  In this study, we will assess participants' sleep duration using a wrist-worn GENEActiv triaxial accelerometer (Activinsights, Cambridge, UK). Participants will be instructed to wear the device on their non-dominant wrist 24 hours a day for 8 days, except during contact sports that may pose a risk of injury. Sleep duration (minutes) is defined as the total time spent sleeping.

  pre intervention: for 8days(before the intervention) / post intervention: for 8days(after the intervention)

• Sleep efficiency

  In this study, we will assess participants' sleep efficiency using a wrist-worn GENEActiv triaxial accelerometer (Activinsights, Cambridge, UK). Participants will be instructed to wear the device on their non-dominant wrist 24 hours a day for 8 days, except during contact sports that may pose a risk of injury. Sleep efficiency(%) is defined as the proportion of time spent asleep relative to time in bed

  pre intervention: for 8days(before the intervention) / post intervention: for 8days(after the intervention)

• Time in bed

  In this study, we will assess participants' time in bed using a wrist-worn GENEActiv triaxial accelerometer (Activinsights, Cambridge, UK). Participants will be instructed to wear the device on their non-dominant wrist 24 hours a day for 8 days, except during contact sports that may pose a risk of injury. Time in bed (minutes) is defined as the total time spent in bed, including both sleep and wakefulness

  pre intervention: for 8days(before the intervention) / post intervention: for 8days(after the intervention)

• Sleep onset time

  In this study, we will assess participants' sleep onset time using a wrist-worn GENEActiv triaxial accelerometer (Activinsights, Cambridge, UK). Participants will be instructed to wear the device on their non-dominant wrist 24 hours a day for 8 days, except during contact sports that may pose a risk of injury. Sleep onset time (hours and minutes) is defined as the time at which sleep begins.

  pre intervention: for 8days(before the intervention) / post intervention: for 8days(after the intervention)

• wake time

  In this study, we will assess participants' sleep onset time using a wrist-worn GENEActiv triaxial accelerometer (Activinsights, Cambridge, UK). Participants will be instructed to wear the device on their non-dominant wrist 24 hours a day for 8 days, except during contact sports that may pose a risk of injury. Wake time (hours and minutes) is defined as the final wake-up time.

  pre intervention: for 8days(before the intervention) / post intervention: for 8days(after the intervention)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Depression

  pre intervention(day 1), post intervention(day 57)

• Anxiety

  pre intervention(day 1), post intervention(day 57)

• Inhibition

  pre intervention(day 1), post intervention(day 57)
