Through an online survey of 17 adolescents, we observed a negative relationship between cell phone use with physical activity as well as a positive relationship between cell phone use with academic performance. We did not observe any relationships between sedentary behavior, anxiety, or satisfaction with life in adolescent children. Through am online survey of 307 university students and employees we observed a negative effect of cell phone use on sedentary behavior. Individuals experiencing an increase in cell phone use throughout the COVID-19 pandemic sat more than individuals who did not increase cell phone use. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on physical activity and sedentary behavior. Regardless of cell phone use, individuals experience lower amounts of mild physical activity and increased weekly sitting throughout the pandemic. 2021-08-06 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1626458070353404 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1626458070353404 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
