Abstract

Más allá de los innumerables beneficios que ha supuesto la expansión de Internet y las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), cada vez son más los estudios que recalcan también los problemas y riesgos que suele conllevar, especialmente en el caso de los adolescentes. El aumento del sedentarismo y el aislamiento, la distorsión de la socialización, de las pautas de sueño y alimentación y, en general, el uso problemático de Internet, están suscitando una creciente preocupación social a la que expertos e investigadores siguen intentando dar respuesta. Sin embargo, el desarrollo de estrategias educativas o preventivas realmente eficaces es todavía una cuenta pendiente. El fomento de la práctica deportiva de manera regular puede deparar beneficios importantes también en este contexto. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido precisamente aportar evidencias al respecto, intentando comprobar si efectivamente el hecho de que los adolescentes realicen deporte de forma regular, e incluso vinculados a un club y con licencia federativa, implica tasas de uso problemático de Internet significativamente menores. Los resultados obtenidos a partir de una muestra de 509 estudiantes de entre 10 y 17 años evidencian que realmente así es. Como consecuencia, más allá de las limitaciones muestrales del trabajo empírico y de su carácter exploratorio, lo que se pone sobre la mesa es la importancia que posee a estos niveles la supervisión del tiempo de ocio de nuestros hijos/as y la promoción de la actividad física y deportiva de forma regular. El potencial que a nivel preventivo tienen los programas encaminados a fomentar el deporte entre los adolescentes está, a nuestro modo de ver, aun por aprovechar.Abstract. Despite the countless benefits that the expansion of Internet and New Communication Technologies has brought, every time more studies emphasize problems and risks that they often imply, especially in the case of adolescents. The increase of physical inactivity and isolation, the distortion of socialization, sleeping and eating patterns, as well as problematic Internet use, have provoked rising social concerns that experts and researchers are still trying to respond to. In fact, the development of truly effective educational and preventive strategies is still an unresolved matter. Encouraging regular practice of sport can bring significant benefits even in this context. The aim of this study was to provide evidence that adolescents practicing sport regularly, including those having federal license and belonging to sports clubs, show lower rates of problematic Internet use. Results obtained from a sample of 509 students aged between 10 to 17 years confirm our hypothesis. Consequently, despite sampling limitations of this empirical work and its exploratory character, it is clear that we need to monitor children’s leisure time, as well as to promote regular practice of physical activity and sport. In our view, the preventive potential of programs focused on encouraging adolescents to be active is still unexpressed.

  • Highly rewarding, immediate content may encourage procrastination by providing an emotional distraction that reduces immediate stress but increases long-term anxiety due to unfinished academic tasks.

    “Highly rewarding, immediate content—such as real-time social interactions or the consumption of entertaining material—may encourage procrastination by providing an emotional distraction that reduces immediate stress but increases long-term anxiety due to unfinished academic tasks [60,68,69,70,71].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
